Did you know that in 17 days, the nights will get shorter again in the northern hemi? If you're struggling right now, lean into cozy as much as you can and really enjoy it. I've got spicy teas, smelly candles, a fun sweater, and twinkly lights. Enjoying these weeks as much as the bright ones.

When munis don't charge an adequate amount of property tax to meet operational and future needs (reserves), the tax burden gets shifted. In this case, Ken Sim thinks the province should bear the burden.
Let's look at who pays those taxes for a moment...

"Everyday Vancouverites" don't get a break on a 0% property tax. Landlords don't pass along savings (50% of residents are renters).
Landowners get a break. And it's not money back, just a future huge increase to make up for shortsightedness.

When we hear 0% tax hike, it's a game and trying to shift the tax burden on another gov't (next elected or other level).
Then we're mad when the other gov't have to hike taxes to make up for the deficit in services and therefore expenses.

This isn't just a new West problem.
Want to take action?
1 - don't be part of the problem. Criticize issues, not people.
2 - show up for leaders after they get elected. Having to lead in a room full of people who behave like this is draining at the very least.
3 - let's vote in better people

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.
