Happy birthday to me. Vancouver is beautiful. Looking forward to a day when it's more affordable. #vacancycontrol
Congratulating yourselves for stricter bylaws that stigmatize communities but will never win in court is nothing to be thrilled about. We will keep fighting against punitive & inhumane actions elected officials brag about but solve nothing.

"A man who asked to remain anonymous because being identified as homeless could impact his employment told The Tyee he doesn’t plan to go back because park rangers told him he wouldn’t be allowed to use his wooden bed frame and foam mattress."

It is absurd to keep treating housing as a commodity. Better guardrails are required to ensure protections for renters against profiteering landlords. We have more to do, but for now we are taking this as a win for renters in BC.

“With the pace of these announcements, so soon after [FIRST UNITED's] data and the report, and the pressure and advocacy, we’re pleased with their response being as urgent as we believe the issue is." -@BurrowsAmanda , Executive Director for FIRST UNITED vancouversun.com/news/local-new…
Housing is a basic human right, and we will continue to advocate for evidence-based policy changes to prevent homelessness and displacement, including vacancy control. Read our full platform here: firstunited.ca/how-we-help/bc…
Our research and law reform recommendations wouldn't have happened without the 800+ survey respondents who gifted us their eviction stories! Thanks to you we were able to advocate for real change to help alleviate the eviction crisis in BC. #bcevictionmap
We are encouraged by the quick action to respond to the urgent issue of fraudulent “landlord use” eviction. We see this as recognition of a major issue facing tenants and contributing to the housing crisis.

Today, a Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Elder was refused access to the CRAB Park encampment. She was trying to offer medicine to a sick resident during the tent city clean-up that many are calling a forced eviction. Today for @IndigiNewsMedia. #crabpark indiginews.com/news/city-fenc…

.@BurrowsAmanda spoke at City Council recently, advocating for free Wi-Fi in the DTES "I witnessed countless people in the cold in despair. There was panic, confusion, and I know as a city we can do better. This can be alleviated by having Wi-Fi access.” vancouverisawesome.com/local-news/why…

Glad to see unanimous support for expanding public WiFi in the DTES and beyond. Reducing social isolation and increasing access to health & housing supports and more. #VanPoli #AccessForAll
