My rent is going up regardless of property tax increases.
458: business council of B.C. supported zero per cent tax increase. 94% increase in property tax since 2010. Landlords pass this on to renters. Excess spending of 3.8 billion in last decade.

Sim has shown throughou his term--especially in Council meetings, that he is lazy and unprepared most days. Almost every meeting when bylaws are voted on: "did not read, will not be voting".
He likes to "wing it" because it means less work, and he thinks he's smarter than everyone else. #vanpoli

Ken Sim's comments on EarlyEd were delusional:
His defense of "thorough budget presentation" suggested councillors were afforded multiple rounds of questions. In fact, critical councillors were given only two 5min blocks for questions and answers on 90 slide, 23p, $2.4b budget before ABC cut us off

Listening to Ken Sim’s @cbcstephenquinn.bsky.social interview and it’s kind of surprising his team doesn’t prepare him better for this tough interviewer.
He says the police board has said no to some budget asks and the police have cut back their spending - but can’t name examples. #vanpoli

I love that 100 years after we learned that booze prohibition didn’t stop consumption, just made it deadly, we’re starting to put together that drug prohibition doesn’t work either.
Health Canada convened an independent expert advisory group in 2020 to provide guidance on safer supply. Health Canada heavily redacted its final report, but unredacted version obtained by CBC shows the expert group said drug crisis is driven by prohibition and recommended expansion of safer supply

We took on a powerful incumbent who was expected to coast to reelection.
We faced more corporate PAC money than has ever been spent attacking a candidate in a Seattle election.
We built a people-powered movement rooted in hope for our city’s future.
And we won.

271: themes. Shared sense of responsibility- renters and homeowners. Second is disregard for public feedback. You’ll hear this again today. We’re seeing growth- Oakridge and Broadway. And we want to cut planning urban design and sustainability? Mayor wanted swagger but event permits increasing??

Budget hearing continued after short recess. 157: environmental lawyer (?)Reads poem. 158: raised in east van. This is austerity and hasn’t been asked for. I’ve been lucky enough to use public services. Breaks my heart to think they won’t get same quality. Few people asked for this police budget.

A rising cost of living—especially for housing—has caused the highest ever Metro Vancouver living wage.
This is the hourly rate that a full-time worker must earn to cover essential expenses for a basic, decent standard of living and to avoid chronic financial stress.

very impressed by COPE Councillor Orr for reporting summaries of every speaker for this budget, and actually staying until the end unlike most ABC councillors
my crude count is there were less than 10 in favour, roughly 260 opposed, with around 330 more speakers to go.

269: in favour. Tune out noise if fear mongers who say sky is falling. This is not drastic cuts to budget. Wants full budget transparency. Heard about services but don’t know what a necessary sevice is. Scope creep.
