Hoping for the Streisand effect like Ford’s video? Doug is not a great person but I guess a broken clock is still correct twice a day!

Nope. Woodward has been spending like a drunk sailor. No interest in getting anywhere near that mess as a city resident.

Langley TOWNSHIP not city. The city of Langley mayor is awesome. The township mayor not so much.

French champagne?

Hydrogen metal embrittlement is going to send these cars to an early grave.

Today I learned that seniors or disabled can live in single family housing just not in a new development at the same location. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Glad we can agree. Or are you too lazy to walk a couple km?

Everyone knows you need a massive suv if you are a single parent. /s

I ride my bike to Costco. Cry harder cause you’re lazy and don’t know what a jacket is.

No frills 1.9km.

Google says 2km.

I can just imagine the average Langley citizen if they actually put bike lanes on 200th. They still complain about the lane on glover and the single block they removed a car lane from Douglas on.

You ride too slow.

I can’t get your logic. It should be rent reduced because full rent is too expensive?

The city of Langley is tiny at only 10 square km. Saying that this site is too far from anything is peak nimby talk. The new sky train is only 1.9 km from the site. Closest grocery store 1.6 km.

8 minute bike ride to sky train from the site 🤷

Convient you left out the part about the rent being 20% below market rate for 60 units.

So $80k to qualify. What’s the rent??!

I knew you would get there eventually with the parking🤣. I’m a 2km bike ride from the site, so not a neighbour but still very close. My kid makes +- $80k and would love to be on his own that isn’t some dank basement. What are the rents going to be, as you seem to think they are to $$$?

Nice pivot from too expensive to too big. Just need to get around to “parking issues” and you will have the entire NIMBY repertoire!

At least you’ve come out at the “rent is too expensive let’s build less dense housing to solve it” crowd.

2 4 story buildings aren’t going to be any cheaper. 🤣🤣🤣

Schools are under provincial not municipal purview. 50th can get a light. The NIMBYs are all over the map on this one; rent is too expensive, rent is too cheap and unsavoury people will move in, traffic is too bad in this area. Any excuse to not build anything that isn’t single family housing.

I live nearby. Glad to see that eyesore dilapidated church get knocked down.

NIMBYs gonna nimby.

Want To Make Money? Build A Business On A Bike Lane Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.

“Local stores next to the protected bike-lane have seen a 49% increase in sales, compared to an average of 3% for Manhattan as a whole.”

(Among MANY other public benefits.)

But plastic straws and woke stuff!!! /s

Don’t forget about her other issues. Calling lesbians dirty, anti-abortion marches, hiring blackface performers for her Christmas show, climate change denier and do much more.

Agreed sprawl is definitely part of it but I think there is definitely some gross incompetence in past and present council. I’ve been in the COL for 25 years and the current mayor and council seems to be doing a pretty good job.

Exactly. The TOL is facing impending financial disaster due to past and prior sending issues. As a resident of the COL I can say I want no part of their issues and amalgamation is a terrible idea.
