Also, charging more for surface parking lots and derelict housing GENERATES MORE REVENUE that you can put toward covering the cost of whatever extra staff you need to enforce this. And maybe have some mad money left over for municipal improvements. #yqrcc /5

The beauty of implementing a tax class where you can make derelict properties and surface parking lots more expensive to hold onto is it shifts the incentive structure we currently have & makes property owners WANT to develop they're land. Less wheedling necessary. /4 #yqrcc

This list produced fear across #yqr. Each line contributes to sense of place & quality of life. These are the things that affect whether people want to stay in this city or not and whether people feel like they belong. #yqrcc 4/4

It would make living in #yqr 100% worse. Requests to find cuts without understanding the complexity of budgets, programming, grants, recreation needs, and/or delivery of services looks like this. This is a list of things that contribute directly to well being in our city. #yqrcc 3/

It would mean the loss of grants (including overnight warming centre), children's summer programming, commitments to reconciliation, winter city initiatives. It would mean a loss of safety standards (from roads to firefighting), elimination of programs, reduced staffing/inspections/repairs. #yqrcc 2

Yay - another P3 & minimized debate! What could possibly go wrong?!

I'm really looking forward to listening to this!

I absolutely agree!

The time to sign up to be a delegate has passed but I will be sending this to my city councillor and the mayor. I urge others to do the same if they want to voice their concerns. There are strong delegations that you can read in Wednesdays package 8/8 #yqr #yqrcc

The addition of hypodermic needles targets the most vulnerable members of our public. Who will police the police? The City of Regina should not support the further criminalization of unhoused people. 7/ #yqr #yqrcc

The list of dangerous weapons distracts from the arbitrary power afforded to police in this act. Police will be given the power to determine what constitutes a weapon and whether a fine and/or jail time is appropriate. 6/ #yqr #yqrcc

A better use would be adopting a housing first policy to ensure unhoused individuals are provided with a safe place to stay with related supports and services. This would be a direct measure to provide “safety” to members of the public that are unhoused. 5/ #yqr #yqrcc
