Thank you for bringing attention to this extremely important issue.

I thought I told you! Been so busy lately it must have slipped my mind, sorry!

Hopefully we can see a better voting system for municipal elections! Would love to see ranked choice voting or STV make its way to the local level.

Having seen the first two episodes now, I'm hooked! Vince Gilligan rarely misses.

Thank you!

If you want to learn more, get involved, or donate, you can reach out to me, or you can go to www.jacksandor.ca! The election isn’t until October of next year, but anything you can do to help will make a big difference. Thanks so much to everyone who helped me set this up <3

It warms my heart that so many people would show up 11 months out from the election, and think it shows that people are hungry for more young people and renters represented on council. Im running for a lot of reasons, but the main one is to make Victoria affordable for young and working class people

I agree with basically all of that! But if it's done at a meaningful scale, it will lower housing prices.

Keeping in mind of course that the people who can afford that 1% will always be better off than average.

That's a complicated question that I don't have the answer to. But I'm having trouble squaring "housing prices can't come down" with wanting to solve the housing crisis. New build housing is roughly 1% of our total housing stock, what do we do for the other 99%?

I can't see a way to just lower prices for a small group without meaningfully impacting the housing market as a whole. Either housing gets cheaper or it doesn't. And that of course means pain for some, but the status quo means pain for others.

It doesn't have to be drastic, but I feel like giving up on the goal of lowering prices is giving up on the idea of solving the housing crisis. First time homebuyers buying new-build housing is a tiny fraction of the housing market, and a tiny fraction of those who are being screwed by the crisis.

How do we fix the housing crisis without housing prices coming down? Even if they froze where they are, it would take decades to get back to housing being affordable for average people.

Haven't seen it! It's on the (always growing) list though.

Honestly, I'd take the Flanders dystopia over the direction we're headed now. He'd be a very beNedvolent leader.

Yeah, nightlife is such a tiny portion of our city.
