We are a group of volunteer citizens who oppose the City’s/MST proposals for Jericho Lands. The towers are too big, unsustainable & units will be too expensive JerichoCoalition.org Joined December 2021-

Oh oh. California judges don’t think adding housing supply leads to affordability. They block a state bill allowing automatic approval of four dwelling units throughout the state no matter the zoning. therealdeal.com/la/2024/04/25/…
Demoviction of all residents at 2224 Albert St proposed under Broadway Plan rezoning application, with no option for renters to return #vanpoli
#BroadwayPlan #towers worry experts Architect @michaelgeller “I have called for a moratorium while we look at this. We’re beginning to realize that there was a mistake.” “The scale & the amount of #density, it’s so jarring” said architect Scot Hein theglobeandmail.com/canada/british…
@RupertCampbel15 @michaelgeller @DouglasTodd The whole idea that #urbanity equals #densification equals high rise #towers is such simple minded #cityplanning, that it could be “engraved on the head of a pin”( Urbanist Jane Jacobs) Fact is: more #density does not equal more #affordability, which is after all today’s #1 issue
Many elected officials have said things that they have subsequently apologized for. The hate and vitriol that has been directed at Selina Robinson, in my view, has no place in our democracy. In challenging times we should strive to share our differences peacefully & respectfully.
Why does @CityofVancouver even bother asking for our views on development when most every single one passes with little or no amendments? Seriously, why? cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/01/30/sha…
‘Jericho development plan fails to deliver affordable housing, increased rental supply, or livable density’ – Jericho Coalition urges Vancouver City Council to send developers back to drawing board, not approve plan (Jan 24) @JerichoCoalitio #vanpoli #bcpoli…
Vast majority of respondents to ShapeYourCity do not want this dystopian development for Jericho. We can build a beautiful, dense and thriving community here. Don't blow it with monster towers.

Vancouver faces huge liability risks if Council approves 'Jericho Lands Policy Statement' (for Official Development Plan, rezonings) Jan 24 without crucial hydrogeological and transportation studies: Jericho Coalition #vanpoli #bcpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/01/19/jer…
Jericho Coalition’s Murray Hendren said “everyone in the area is concerned” about the proposed #Vancouver development’s size & scale. Hendren said he believes the city & developer should pause planning work until they get the results of hydrogeological & transportation studies.…
Jericho is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for visionary city building Let’s not blow it with a premature plan that hasn’t addressed Vancouver’s vital housing needs -rental housing & -affordable housing at a liveable density #vanpoli Business in Vancouver biv.com/article/2024/0…
We urge City Council to defer the vote on the Jericho Policy Statement set for January 24, because it lacks critical #hydrogeological data The City concedes that a hydrogeological study might reveal problems that will require a significant redesign of the #MST proposal #vanpoli
Finding #affordable #housing in BC is an uphill battle Exacerbating the problem is that #rents continue to climb while household incomes stagnate Homelessness up 33% Ineffective BC #densification policies are NOT tied to #affordability @GoldinYVR theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/va…
In BC, Property Transfer Tax (“PTT”) is not payable on a transfer of beneficial interest. Therefore buyers commonly purchase shares of a company owning land to facilitate an unregistered transfer of beneficial interest rather than acquiring legal title to the property. 1/2
Please @Khelsilem book an appointment with an eye doctor The #MST plan for #Jericho is not good looking It’s overwhelming. It’s too dense, too tall & too unfriendly to families & middle #income folks The pricey #housing units will be marketed in sales offices in Dubai & Shanghai

Is this someone’s idea of a joke? #MST’s design plans for #Jericho look more like Burnaby’s #MetroTown than the most beautiful natural beach area in Vancouver 60 concrete #towers on this property do not respect the land or the people It looks #unliveable & #unlovable #vanpoli

Here's your periodic reminder that calls to build as much as possible as tall as possible with no regard for what's destroyed gets you this: Modernism's god Le Corbusier's Plan Voisin which would have destroyed the best of Paris for soulless towers.

While I agree w/ increase density around transit hubs, the provincial legislation could have significant unintended consequences. Highest & best use (aka “air tax”) has crippled small businesses. financialpost.com/news/local-new…
