Let's explore why the @CityofVancouver & @VSB39 plan separately. How did it end up being that a major city produces a blueprint for the future that does not include school & amenity planning.
First, let us set the stage for #vanpoli NIMBYs & YIMBYs.

NIMBYs have kids & grandkids
YIMBYs plan for kids & have kids
Let's reset & unite on the theory that you care about kids. How would you address the fact that our local governments are planning in silos? What impact will this have on your kids' kids? #bced

3/ What impact does this have on Vancouver's ability to attract and retain families? Does the City know who it is building for? Does the VSB know how to forecast?
Deep down, we all know the city is going to become dense; just debating the shape & speed.

For the past 8 months I have been supporting all 38 students @ubcSPPGA in their capstone Global Policy Projects w @jdierkes The projects ranged from reccs on decolonizing #VancouverPlan to climate adaption strategies for Laxgalts'ap to supporting remote education w @olenepal /1 
It's been an incredible amount of work: for me and Julian but more importantly for the students. They have been working incredible hours under very difficult circumstances for client work and remote research while juggling COVID19 personal challenges with high stakes deadlines /2
It feels amazing to see all their projects and the client's reactions to work that will really make a difference in the lives of people all over the world. It's also great to know the students are on the other side of all this stress. This is why people teach. /3
