Help me #YYJ. I'm curious about t/ HumberGreen proposal to include Transit passes.
During the Feb 09 CoV PH re HarrisGreen, didn't t/Starlight rep, when queried on that idea by a cllr,  give a very cogent reply as to why that wouldn't be doable? 1/
2/ It's a 4 hr meeting, and not available via text, (pet peeve of mine) so I'll have to wade through the entire vid to refresh my memory on the specifics
pub-victoria.escribemeetings.com/Meeting.aspx?I…
3/Also, doesn't city bylaw 80-159 still require min # of off street parking?
Shouldn't we amend bylaws if needed *before* approving variances?

4/ The 5 part rationale for no parking by developer Merchant House Capital

tender.victoria.ca/webapps/ourcit…
5/The TDM measures (part 5 of the rationale) which are *under consideration* by developer include:
5 yr Transit pass per unit and 2 car-share vehicles and ModoPlus memberships for each unit.
6/But some of #YYJ M/Cncl are speaking as if this is a done deal.. Excited at approving no parking/bus passes..
Which brings us nicely full circle to my tw#1 - the reasons why HG developers gave as to why this may not work.

The Maskless Masses
A Fri. eve tale (I'll unroll it at end for ur reading ease) Chapter
 1/ I'm so angry at all 'pretend covid is over folk'. Tho' that anger is aimed in large part to health officials, this eve it's the unmasked public to whom I direct my wrath. Let me explain:
2/ I was forced to visit LDrugs in person for an urgent Rx. 
I really didn't want to expose anyone else and my RATs all week have been neg. but I really had no choice as w/out the meds, my precarious health would be further at risk.
3/Waiting for 1/2hr, w/my always worn N95, coughing almost uncontrollably as dozens of pharmacy patrons. all unmasked (presumably ill/vulnerable) show zero level of alarm, or don a mask even to protect themselves.

I have a serious ? #YYJ #YYJPoli . We're all debating/arguing #housing- what is the best path to get the results we want? BUT - how can we possibly agree on best route; if we haven't even discussed where we want to go? 1/
2/ I mean, really... think about it...
What is our destination?
What do we want #Victoria #YYJ to be now and in future?
How big?
How dense?
How many people?
3/I'm sure we can agree, that the need for housing keeps increasing, both from:
current residents (and I'll add former, who have been forced out)
AND rising demand from ppl wanting to move here to enjoy the west coast life style, climate.

I haven't yet said much about #YYJ #YYJPoli, council candidate Chris Coleman; cause I assume most #Victorians know him well. I'm thrilled he's running and will bring his extensive skill/experience to our city
chriscoleman.ca/biography/
It's well worthwhile to follow Chris Coleman on fb...
He updates regularly with informative and interesting insights from his campaign and reactions he's getting from #YYJ peeps #yyjpoli facebook.com/profile.php?id…

#YYJPoli Guess who said it?
"If I was a citizen...I would be unsettled"
(cheat sheet: ref:@Adam_Stirling Hr1; this am; approx 11 mins in)
#IfIWasACitizen sums up the patronizing attitude we must rid #YYJ of. Pls don't vote4 any #CityFamily candidate
iheartradio.ca/cfax-1070/show…
2/ "I was speaking as the head of the #CityFamily "
Am I the only one who thinks it's beyond weird (and ultra colonial speak/action) that the elected #YYJ city mayor/councillors; decide which indigenous ppl get invited to #CityFamily? (and speak on their behalf?) #reconciliation
3/ "I am the Family head.. absolutely"
"wow wow wow wow" #YYJPoli #CityFamily
"I was representing the will of the family"
