A clear indication that the writers and the editors of the Rotterdams Dagblad are not required to have actually read what has already been written in their own paper about a particular story (and recently). It is a mere regurgitation of (dis-)information which the right-wing city councillor wants to publicize as his “help” a few weeks after writing to the Woning Bedrijf Rotterdam (see letter). In response to the accusation that we are not actively searching for a replacement location for our 25 year Poortgebouw living group ourselves: of course not! That is the responsibility of the owners and since the date of the sale, we have never been offered a replacement location (vervangende huisvesting) for our living group. Not to mention, that is the reason why Pastors' wrote the letter to the WBR in the first place which, to this date (Aug. 23, 2005), has not produced any alternatives.
