This is nuts! Three homes replacing eight is NOT going to help solve our lack of housing in #Vancouver

Just finished Mr. Cannyharme by Michael Shea. It was published posthumously by his wife and literary executor, Linda Shea, ed S.T. Joshi. I loved it -- a phenomenal work of gritty urban weird horror. And I think this is the best dedication I have ever come across.
Thank you to the @JanesWalkVan organizers for this year's festival, but especially thank you to everyone who came out! I had a great time. It's really inspiring to connect with all these wonderful people interested about housing and their community.

I'm looking forward to this tomorrow! Walking tours are a great way to get out, learn about our city, and meet neighbours! Join me and others with @ahvancouver, tomorrow May 4, 2:30 pm at Arbutus Coffee! Don't worry if the Eventbrite says its full, just show up!

Great post by @russilwvong diving into the City's (so far) vague response to provincial housing legislation. As Russil points out, charging fees to make housing affordable is an oxymoron. @CityofVancouver loves repeating "growth pays for growth" but.. 1/2 morehousing.substack.com/p/vancouver-re…
"It's going to destroy everything" is going in my NIMBY Hall of Fame! Like an apartment is a cosmic abomination here to harvest the earth 😂 (And yes, someone actually said this. To a reporter, knowing it would be published in the newspaper. About a rental apt in Mt Pleasant.)
It looks like Panos Cosmatos is doing this before Nekrokosm, but I'm still psyched as hell. I've loved everything he's done. This sounds frickin' awesome. variety.com/2024/film/glob…
The City decided to draw the Broadway Plan area ~8 blocks to the north and south of Broadway, but only TWO BLOCKS to the west of the western-most station (conveniently one of the wealthiest and NIMBYst areas in the city). LOOKS PRETTY BAD FOLK
I like that the provincial Transit Orient Areas are just circles. That's how people experience proximity-to-transit! Compare the Arbutus Station TOA to the Broadway Plan (the red lines). The City thinks "transit oriented" stops two blocks to the west of the the last station 🙃

@pwaldkirch Thank you for leading a wonderful and engaging walk!
Sometimes ppl ask why you can't fasten the bottommost button on a suit. This is the reason why. Most suits are not made so you can fasten that button. If you do, you will pull the front edge. Also, you will look a bit like a noob to anyone used to wearing tailored clothing.
which beanie outfit looks better?
Right-wing commentator Tim Pool is truly a pioneer of the formal beanie — first at the White House, now at Mar-a-Lago.
It’s been an honour to represent the good ppl of #Northdelta Looking forward to running again in the upcoming election🙏🏾
Congrats to Ravi Kahlon, the BC NDP candidate for Delta North in this fall's election. A 2x Olympian for Team Canada in field hockey & inductee in the Delta Sports Hall of Fame, Kahlon was elected in 2017 and 2020. He serves as the Minister of Housing and Government House Lead.
In this vast democracy called Canada, we must often set aside our differences to come together. But over the coming weeks, British Columbians & Edmontonians will have to set aside what we have in common (hating the Calgary Flames) for hockey glory. Bet’s on!
Here we go Premier @Dave_Eby Vancouver vs Edmonton. Let’s make a bet: loser has to deliver a statement in the Legislature written by the winner while wearing the other’s jersey. Deal?
When your normal friends get you a missing middle cake for your bday but all your YIMBY friends are like “It’s not tall enough 😤” Smh you can never win.
In the middle of the worst housing crisis in Canadian history, Ottawa city council is... - Planning a 28% tax hike on new homes ($10K per home!) - Planning to miss its housing targets by 50% What are we doing @_MarkSutcliffe?
Thread time. About a month ago, the City of Ottawa released a "Specific Development Charges Background Study" they commissioned. It recommends increasing development charges by *23-28*%, or over $10,000 a house. documents.ottawa.ca/sites/document…
A 5-storey apartment on the "wrong" side of the street, "dropping the ghetto in Kitsilano," with 20% below market rents. Approved 4.5 years ago, it's almost finished. Part of the now defunct Moderate Income Rental Housing pilot program. 2nd & Larch.
The greatest extent of apartments in Kits, the Wellington was built just before apartments were banned on this side of the neighbourhood. York & Trafalgar (former home of Fox Mulder)
Apartments in Kits over the decades: from towers "in the park" to boxy (energy efficient) low-rise, on York St.
Kits Point, art the line where the apartments end
A small apartment building, 8 homes, that snuck into Kits Point during the window some apartments were allowed. A permit has been approved to replace this building with 3 houses, the only type of buildings that are allowed under current zoning. Cypress & McNicoll
Thanks, @pwaldkirch, for a very interesting and informative walk & talk this afternoon about midrise apartments in Kitsilano. And, of course, the need for more housing in all of Vancouver.
Great group for the walk today! @ 2445 w 3rd, the Carriage House, this area's last midrise!
An important piece from @alexbozikovic on Villiers Island — and Toronto’s broader urban planning culture. Our concept of placemaking is rooted foremost in mitigating the supposed harms of density and tall buildings, not in creating a thriving city. theglobeandmail.com/canada/toronto…
