The “affordability” piece is 10% at average vancouver rents, the other 90% is at “market” rents, which will be very high at a valuable site like this buoyed by public amenities like skytrain and trout lake.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to interpret “fight for housing” as being synonymous with voting in favour of every market housing project, in every context regardless of details. Sean’s speeches, videos, platform made his priorities on affordable and social housing clear

If someone on a TV commercial says “hey you” do you believe the TV is literally talking to you?

What’s the point of quote tweeting me to McElroy? Like, what the fuck lol. Stop being a dickhead

What part of my quoted post is not true or unreasonable? Sean provided his rationale at the time of the vote. If someone excludes that rationale its a misrepresentation

It’s sort of being misrepresented online. He gave a number of reasons in his statement for his mixed feelings. He made the call to reflect the opposition in his vote knowing he would be the only one. He wasn’t endorsing using public comment as a barometer for votes in general.

It seems really disproportionate to me to overlook all of Seans effort and work so far (and over the next year) because you disagree with one protest vote

Something like 10% of people in Vancouver can afford to buy a condo. It’s reasonable that in an era where basically all new development was unaffordable condos that someone might make a punk song like that

He was just trying to be diplomatic, phrased it in a clumsy way. His record speaks for itself, they’re obviously nothing alike and this attack by Grids is totally bad faith and lies

The true candidate of public safety strikes again…

Time to leave my loving wife for Ariana Grande… i am sure Ariana Grande will stay by my side

now she's into neutral milk hotel. she's speed running

the reality show spectacle of big tent election politics really does take the air out of the room for other types of political organizing while turning us into a type of powerless passive consumer reduced to cheering and booing, eh

"people will never go for that, but I agree it is necessary" is one of the most terrifyingly cowardly phrases in politics

NEW EP

Many are calling it a kerfuffle. Or worse. In this ep we talk about the year-long assault on Gaza, war crimes, the definition of genocide, the ICJ case, some I/P history, oct 7 security failures, and numerous other related things.

My toddler has entered a phase where she constantly says “ee go dada” and hands me things, real or imaginary 🥺

Nope, but the vibe seems right

Rustad and the BC Conservatives are promising overbearing children of men cages. Its extreme. That’s not our values.

We are the BC NDP are going to bring out pragmatic, limited children of men cages.

I like accessibility but I really don’t like how alt text is structured. It impedes the flow.

One should be able to add alt text after they post. Other people should be able to suggest alt text which you accept/amend/reject if there is none. This would be more accessible.

Srsly wrong 322 - Landlords, Rent Strikes, and Tenant Unions
