#BuildCanadaHomes will fund approx 26k affordable units in Canada between now and 2029-30 www.msn.com/en-ca/news/c...

Separately, running over #metrovan municipal jurisdictions & the public on planning & blanket upzoning is undemocratic & poor policy #vanre #bcre #housingcrisis #bcpoli
BC needs to work with Build Canada Homes to build nonmarket housing leaving the market housing to grow as demand is needed while ensuring demand isn’t overinflated

Contractors won’t build enough supply for affordable rents - it’s not profitable

Ensure nonmarket options are getting built in BC
A group of 16 municipal leaders have written a letter to Premier David Eby voicing concerns about what they feel is an erosion of autonomy.

The dark and rainy season is a prime time for break-and-enters.

As #WestVanPolice continue our work to reduce these incidents and apprehend those responsible, we are asking the public to consider some proactive measures to lessen the risk of becoming targets.

New: parking reservations required on weekends for Creekside P2.

Hopefully this will inspire bus operators to offer additional service from MetroVan - including pick-ups at say Park Royal, or CapU - some locations on the way other than downtown.

Nathan D, speaker 14. Tried in Surrey in 80s. They are still catching up. Only 58% is for Vancouver services. Voted at MetroVan to increase. How can vote different this time? Rankin years used to have binders full of detail. 311 cut back by 25% without council approval. More paid parking 24/7.

Odd phrasing. He's a Vancouverite & academic. Housing is core need that's beyond unaffordable for so many, decimated by poor policies (successive Govts at all levels).

Jens focuses on Van/MetroVan, works privately (likely for RE), & publicly attacked many academics that don't tow the supply line

#MetroVan needs torn up! This blouted over managed pocket picking unnecessary level of governance is completely out of control. They need to go or municipal govts need to go. We can not afford both! #bcpoli #vanpoli #metrovancouver

Few are against new immigrants but RECartel have predominantly built for investor speculators at the high end. Over 28K empty condos in metrovan reported. And thousands of evicted and unhoused people need housing that is affordable!

📣 Next Tues, Oct.14, I’ll be speaking to City Council about the heart of our local democracy — low voter turnout.
2022 election: only 24.4% of eligible residents voted.
It’s time we ask why?

@thetyee.ca I just read Andrew’s excellent essay on Mr Lemkin and how the term genocide came to be. I have read about him through reading Philippe Sands but Andrew’s essay is a brilliant focus on all he did. Wanted you to know a student I had is now teaching Genocide studies in MetroVan.

Why does it take @globalnews.ca seeking a FOI request for taxpayers to learn about this $80k luxury travel waste?
Where is the transparency at @cityofrichmondbc.bsky.social?

The amount of Cyber Trucks in the MetroVan is an argument against MetroVan.

As a born and bred MetroVan gal, it was shocking to me how abruptly the mountains ended when I went by train from Vancouver to Toronto. The mountains are just a constant here - coastals, cascades, columbias, rockies and then BOOM, flat

I plan to see that this week. A few local theatres here in MetroVan are doing shows.
