Herald article on Cliff Bungalow and its heritage challenges. April 5 2008

...Jim Bowman has mixed emotions about his neighbourhood's current popularity. "Of course anyone who owns a home likes to see a capital gain on their property, but in these older neighbourhoods, that often means it will eventually be demolished," says Bowman.

"In 1993, there were about 120 houses in Mission. Now, there are 80."
