S101S – Understanding shadow studies: Why they matter (Erick Villagomez) @spacingvan #vanpoli #bcpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/s10…
A thoughtful article: spacing.ca/vancouver/2024…
2/2 'Shadow studies' have become an important part of planning, says Erick Villagomez of @spacingvan “A city of shadow-dwellers (is) unanimously seen as negative.” There are fundamental benefits of access to sunlight. Rendering envisions future Brentwood Town Centre.
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…
@VanPoliMorphus The entire rationale of the #BroadwayPlan - that more #density will lead to more #affordability is flawed. Only 20% of the new tower units will be “#affordable” below market #housing. 80% will be at market rates - the highest #rents & prices in Canada. biv.com/news/commentar…
Well said ⬇️
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…
East Vancouver renters fight conversion to strata units by new building owner, via @VancouverSun vancouversun.com/business/real-…
East Van residents erect their own development application sign to protest conversion of their rental homes to strata condos, which would be a key precedent w/ citywide implications. #vanre

.@suestroud This is being developed by Crombie REIT - it does not have the community in mind! We need #affordablehousing here - hoping that @Dave_Eby and @KahlonRav will get involved to make this a welcoming affordable gateway to the East Van community. Not mega-rents!

UNSURPRISING NEWS: If you thought CROMBIE REIT's revised development proposal for Commercial would include affordable units, guess again. 10% will be offered at City's average rent cost: 1br = $2187. For the rest, the sky’s the limit! @Dave_Eby @KahlonRav please intervene!
Illuminating!
Why #Vancouver housing prices became so out of whack with the Western world. It suffers a double whammy in outrageous prices. It's a gateway for foreign capital. And it's in a country that compounds unaffordability thru unrivalled migration. 1/ My latest vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

Standing against the glorification of violence and embracing our shared humanity. Vancouver thrives on diversity and inclusivity, where all faiths and cultures are respected. Let's continue to reject hatred and build a city where everyone feels welcome and valued.
On the streets of Vancouver more chants from a crowd of protestors yelling “long live October 7!” A chant led by a senior member of 🇨🇦 not-for-profit Samidoun — a group with connections to the terror organization PFLP and a group we’ve continually raised concerns over. The…

@WiseArny @VanPoliMorphus Well put!Also developers stop building when markets soften or interest rates, land, etc. become uneconomic.That's what's happening now along with receivership for those more exposed developers. So far, land costs (existing housing)'re still increasing in spite of what's happening
@WiseArny Also, the “below market” is still based on an inflated market so hardly “affordable” to many. Better than nothing, but let’s not pretend it’s a wealth of affordable housing.
News is expensive. Producing television is costly. But journalism has worth -30-
@vb_jens Nonsense! There's other, more eresponsible alternatives than the simplistic build concrete towers and 6 plexes anywhere. That's not creating a livable, viable, sustainable, more affordable city. It's antiplanning. Here's an option that does all 3 of those: drive.google.com/file/d/1jMB84-…
@vb_jens But why (sigh, again!) is this a binary? Why can't one object to a massive 18 story plonked on a residential st without suggesting that neighbours want no change whatsoever? Why can't communities be densified with sensitivity? (Given also that this building is staggeringly ugly.)
NEW - The BC Greens are calling for vacancy controls that caps the allowable rent increase (a max to 3.5%) landlords can charge when one tenancy ends and another begins. @SoniaFurstenau said last year properties in Victoria that became vacant saw an average 40% increase in rent

@nomegatowers @BillTieleman @DouglasTodd @ILiveInEastVan @Ayan604 @fumano It doesnt have to be this way. Ugh.
None of the @bcndp 5 bold steps to address the #housingcrisis are tied to #affordability. BC has a #housing affordability crisis #Densification, transit oriented development #TOD & #deregulation policies are great for lots of reasons, but affordability is NOT one of them Waiting!
For 16 years under BCUP governments, the costs of housing in BC went up and up. Our BC NDP government is taking major steps forward to lower costs, and create more homes that people can live in. bcndp.ca/latest/five-bo…
Tonight’s #ParkBoard decision from Mayor Sim & ABC is so disrespectful and undemocratic. They didn’t run on this promise, they haven’t tried to improve things. And now they’re ramming forward to eliminate a democratically elected body mid-way through their term. 1/4 🧵
@george_affleck @ParkBoard @bcndp Beg to differ. This is something that was just sprung on the city last week. There is a lot of opposition from people on the left, people in the middle, and people on the right. Those who support democracy and not this power grab disguised as “cost savings”, won’t forget this.
