A #vanre thread:

There’s a lot of revisionist history going on since @Dave_Eby made a statement on the study @Ayan604 did on non-anglicized Chinese names in Dunbar.

That study was one of the reasons @RWong1975, @razamirza and others like me got involved w/ @HALT_YVR.

1/ People seem to forget that in 2015 when @Ayan604 published his study, the BC Liberals had deliberately not collected data on where homebuyers were coming from.

This data simply didn’t exist, yet there were already rumblings about what was causing housing unaffordability.

I got out for my first bike ride around Stanley Park this year. Coming down Burrard bridge and then onto Beach Ave I was surprised to find that it had been converted to a single lane of one way traffic to make room for a dedicated lane for bikes going both ways. 1/ Now, I’m unabashedly one of those middle-aged dudes in Lycra riding around on fancy carbon fibre bikes and the road at Stanley Park has always been a great training ride (Strava has me at 100+ laps of the park). I’ve shared the road with cars there and it mostly works ok. 2/

I’ve been asked for my perspective on this Joanna Chiu op-ed on a few occasions now, so I’ll share my own thread here with some thoughts. Firstly, the racism in #vanre discussions is real and I encounter it regularly on social media and to some extent day-to-day. The problem is hugely complex and to distill it down to “zoning” is akin to trying to watch a 3D IMAX movie on an an old black and white cathode ray tube TV. Zoning alone isn’t the problem (and in fact, is also part of the solution) 2/

This motion raised by @JeanSwanson_ chock full of action to address homelessness in Vancouver was deemed out of order by @kennedystewart while @councillorwiebe and @LisaDominato’s decampment motion is on the docket for public hearing. #vanpoli council.vancouver.ca/20191001/docum… Here’s @councillorwiebe and @LisaDominato’s motion, up for public hearing today. Nothing but political doublespeak to kick out the tent city residents and a bunch of feel-good initiatives that do little to help address the homelessness crisis. #vanpoli council.vancouver.ca/20191002/docum…
