Housing is important, so is food. 

At the same time it's to his credit that he has taken a benign stance to Occupy NS, Kelly has not exactly been an activist mayor when it comes to social concerns. He seems blind to so many problems.

I'd really like to hear Kelly asked about other issues in HRM as well, such as the allocation of tax revenue for multimillion dollar development projects that lack any demonstrable benefit to the population - and in fact take resources away from these basic issues (as well as transit, which is important for low-income earners) - such as the stadium, the convention centre, and redevelopment of heritage sites. The first two have won funding without any specifics being put forward, other than, ironically, dire predictions of success. Throughout N. America, convention centres and stadia consistently fail to yield revenue for local businesses and often fail themselves within a few short years. This sad fact has not stopped Kelly's enthusiasm.
