There is a way to make Vancouver buses up to 18% faster that no one is talking about.
It does not require digging tunnels.
The solution is hidden in plain sight at our intersections.

This is how a City can build homes and help promote affordability for all.
We’re aiming for a long-term break-even, but any dollar returned stays within the Corporation to finance the next project and build more homes. It’s a closed-loop system designed to build housing forever.

The headline is "Building Support." I swear I didn't pitch that pun, though as a housing guy, I do appreciate a good dad joke. Thanks to the Straight for making me look reasonably mayoral.

ABC: firing a bunch of staff before the holidays seems like a fun idea.
Also ABC: sorry residents of Vancouver that want to partake in civic engagement to make our city resilient and livable, we don’t have enough staff to support your efforts to participate in a city.

NEW: City Council to consider cutting key committees (e.g. Arts and Culture, Renters, Older Persons and Elders) to silence citizens.
If City Hall doesn't work for citizens, then who does it work for? (hint: Ken's rich donors!)

This ABC decision to cut staff is absolutely unconscionable. But at least all those dedicated city staffers that are losing their jobs two weeks before the holidays can take solace in a zero percent property tax increase.
I'm thinking today of the dozens of CoV team members that Ken Sim has fired, right before the holidays, thanks to his election-year budget stunt.
Workers keep us moving. We need to invest in our city and its services, and we need great people working for our city to do that.

NEW: The City of Vancouver has notified 30 non-unionized staff members that their roles will be ending, according to an email from the city manager.

I'm speaker #500 against this austerity budget. I’m okay with waiting since over 600 residents are also sharing their concerns on this budget. This overwhelming number of speakers from every part of society make it clear that we don’t want services to be cut which will make our great city worse.

A privilege to be part of this event today to open these new affordable rental homes in Mount Pleasant. Proud to be part of the Brightside team.
Today we cut the ribbon for The Aster! 82 new purpose-built affordable rental homes in Mt. Pleasant for families, seniors, and people with disabilities. We are grateful for the opportunity to open these new homes on the stolen lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, and səlilwətaɬ Peoples.
