Summary: 
Editorial arguing that the Gastown Land Use Task Force is avoiding substantial debate on issues because of its composition. The author argues that despite the task force's best efforts, gentrification in the Downtown Eastside is moving ahead at an increasingly-fast pace. The latter part of the editorial argues against the use of 'rent-a-cops' in the Gastown area.
