@DouglasTodd Westbound Lougheed hwy, shady town.
Shade problem stretches far beyond Brentwood’s highrises It can be unhealthy — and unfair — for residents anywhere to be forced to live in the shadows of gargantuan new building projects. 1/2 My latest #vanre #vanpoli #bcpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/column…
While student housing is needed not sure pulling planned secured rental housing into it is the needed answer right now. dailyhive.com/vancouver/gec-…
“goal of public engagement can be to inform, consult, collaborate or empower…the one that gives citizens the least amount of influence is a purely informative process. …conditions: timeliness, representativeness, transparency and thoroughness” thetyee.ca/Analysis/2024/…

Vintage luxury car lifted into Vancouver's newest luxury condo tower by crane. For someone's living room centrepiece? I can't even... 😅 #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vint…
Mark your calendar for The rethinking housing crisis discussion. ( or rethining!) Sponsored by the city club of New York. Listen especially to Cameron Murray. He’s got the goods on the housing issue from a real estate economics standpoint.
'Surviving' Vancouver, in more ways than one. 'It's a mess, and I love it," says Michael Kluckner. He's the author of new book on what survives of early Vancouver — and whether we can personally survive its new reality. 1/3 My latest #vanpoli #vanre vancouversun.com/opinion/column…
I just watched 4 half century old cherry trees in full bloom get turned into wood chips one beautiful pink limb at a time. I guess they were in the way of the new landscaping plan. They didn't even keep the 2 ft wide 8 ft long logs So much waste in the name of progress. #vanre
This is the vascular system for a sustainable affordable region. Paris gets it right. Why cant we. railwaygazette.com/light-rail-and…
1/2 "In Vancouver, only 15% of dwellings are considered 'single-detached houses,'" says census. @Ayan604 says Vancouver has one of the lowest percentages of single-detached homes in Metro. Via Michael Kluckner's new book, Surviving Vancouver. #vanpoli midtownpress.ca/authors/michae…
Driver Seyed Moshfeghi Zadeh "failed to observe four separate red lights at the intersection”, “failed to brake or steer", then jumped a curb and killed an infant. According to the judge, a "single, momentary lapse of attention". Acquitted of all charges. globalnews.ca/news/10412137/…
Last day for questions in consultation for towers proposed at Kingsway+E13th. Would violate Broadway Plan tower height & solar access provisions. #vanpoli Shadows could cover much of schoolyard (pictured March 1, 2:30pm) cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/04/03/qua…
JUST IN... BC government is amending the Vancouver Charter to require the City of Vancouver to: - create an Official Development Plan (similar to OCP) - cut all public hearings if the proposed rezoning already aligns with ODP/OCP #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…
Larry Beasley on what killed Vancouverism: "The public got shut out. That's what killed it." See the rest of a talk by one of the people who made Vancouver the world's best city......for a while anyway. drive.google.com/file/d/11N7D8S…
But that in the end is the question, isn’t it: “Does local democracy stand in the way of a socially sustainable city?” Session 2 of the Local Democracy Project. cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/03/23/dav…
1245-1265 West 10th Ave. 20-storey tower rezoning. Public consult Mar20-Apr2. Demoviction of two existing rental buildings. Shadow studies incorrect. With 2 towers on block, a 3rd under construction, this violates Broadway Plan. #broadwayplan #vanpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/03/20/tow…
Todays offering. On local democracy and its decline. Join us tonight in person or on line. Details below. thetyee.ca/Opinion/2024/0…
Final day for online questions today (March 19th): Rezoning for 20-storey tower at 1365 West 12th Ave on narrow lot. Renter demoviction, mature rental building. Broadway Plan enabled #vanpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/03/08/rez…

@CGEyesYedOpen @Bill_McCreery Oh, how things have changed since last time you noticed.

No rezoning applications have been rejected at a public in years. They…
@michael_wiebe "People" don't just wave a magic want and poof there is housing. We have local democracy - people invested their life savings expecting the zoning would not change and they wouldn't have 10 storey buildings. This is really a problem of high immigration. Can you explain WHY we…
@BillTieleman @VancouverSun “When senior levels of government keep throwing out there that the more houses we build the cheaper they’ll get, I think they’ve been listening to developers too much,” Hurley said. “I haven’t seen anywhere in the world where that’s actually true.”
@iamkennethchan Great. Total developer control of Vancouver. 🙄
@iamkennethchan Premier Eby really isn't a big fan of democracy, is he?
@iamkennethchan Absolutely insane. BC is now a dictatorship & completely anti-democratic. It’s absurd they’re pushing the SAME zoning across the province. It’s beyond absurd and ridiculous. Cities need the ability to PLAN their city based on needs of citizens. I’m sick of Eby who I voted for
@KahlonRav Public hearings expose issues including corruption of @bcndp @KahlonRav @bcndp and mismanagement at BC Housing. That’s why you’re eliminating. Let’s think about those moments in Kitsilano. Olympian sized scammer of tax payers money
@KahlonRav The moar housing is not affordable. The first to go are the last of the semi-affordable rentals/low-rises. Displacement, eviction and homelessness— People need affordable places to buy and/or non-market/coops. Not more precarious rentals owned by REITs.
@KahlonRav @RentalProFund @theJagmeetSingh Wow! This is in total contradiction to the Broadway Plan in Vancouver, the entire purpose of which is to get our affordable rental stock sold and demolished in favour of higher and higher density. Thousands of renters are and will be seeing the for sale sign imminently.
@KahlonRav @RentalProFund @theJagmeetSingh Your inane mass rezoning laws actually does this exact same thing. Affordable housing will be demolished for profit high density condos built for foreign capital.
THE BROADWAY PLAN Learning from LeCorbusier NOT Learning from Jane Jacobs.
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.
@rrrobbberttt 2/ We have learned from those plagues, many other life quality shortcomings, & Plan Voisin. Jane Jacobs changed that direction. We're still evolving. Sadly Yimby support of developer less sustainable, more expensive tiny boxes in the sky concrete towers creates a less elegant PV.
