For all the flack the Liberals got for this, is this a political win? $100 million in yearly payments seems pretty good

We need to rein in our budget, but discussing the largest item on our budget is OFF LIMITS FOR UH REASONS.

Vancouver Park Board rejects plans to reinstate Stanley Park bike lane by summer in c/[email protected]

I’m not speaking to road capacity, I’m speaking to public controversy. A bike lane in a city park should be even less controversial and politicized than other roads.

Nobody should be shocked to learn since the removal of the bike lane, the park has seen no extra parking revenue, fewer people cycling, and a 40% increase in drivers exceeding 50 km/h in the 30 km/h zone. Not only have they made the park less accessible, but also more dangerous. Let's all remember this isn't a bike lane on a four lane arterial, it's a city park !!

Just unbelievably incompetent work from ABC.

This organization desperately needs an overhaul. for such critical infrastructure we've seen barely any capacity improvements in decades and it's become totally unreliable, even for popular routes like Van-Vic.

Vancouver votes against more housing density in Shaughnessy neighbourhood: Boyle argues neighbourhood is centrally located and doesn’t have much rental stock or affordable housing in c/[email protected]

THANK YOU COUNCILLOR for your restraint, god forbid we have too much housing in this city

their answers mostly hovered around it being “divisive.” if you’re wondering what the fuck that means in the context of more housing for people, I’m right there with you.

they also said the provincial regulations will take care of this. That’s literally not true because of Shaugnessy’s exclusive zoning status.

in short, they don’t have a coherent argument against Boyle’s motion outside of pettiness.

We shouldn’t tax buildings in a housing crisis in c/[email protected]

lol I'd encourage you to read the article before commenting. The authors are arguing for more taxation, but via land taxes instead of building.
