The following is in response to 'LETTER: Turn LCBO stores into affordable housing,' published July 23.

I am all for low-cost housing. 

I am on CPP Disability due to medical reasons. I live on just around the $1,500 mark a month with no fault of my own.

My reaction, though, is what do you do with the almost 10,000 workers that will be removed from the workforce?

Good luck putting those 10,000 LCBO workers in the 669 low-cost housing apartments you just spent money on to renovated — now that you probably created a lot more low-income workers. 

Some people just don't think before they say things. 

I won't get into the money generated by the LCBO or the large selection they carry.
