So if I were to dumb this down for my understanding.

Imagine the Province said:
“All apples can now have stickers.”

But Vancouver said:
“We don’t call them apples. We call them red fruits.”

And the law only applies to “apples,” not "red fruits."

Is the solution to just amend the charter?

It’s honestly wild that the city with some of the worst housing shortage keeps getting left out of provincial reforms. The Charter really needs to be updated - this separate system doesn’t make sense anymore.

Have a random question for you: Why do we keep using sqft for unit of area while most other things are metric?

Here you go, haha.

The Marpole BIA has been pushing pretty hard against this, citing that it will "devastate the local businesses and community." 😅

Is it just me, or does this seem like a shift in tone from Ken Sim? www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyQo...

Thank you, Councillor Zhou!

It baffles me that this is how the city approaches planning—project by project, with little sense of the bigger picture.

👏👏

It feels like we wouldn’t even be in this mess today if 'gentle density' had been allowed decades ago, instead of prioritizing the protection of single-family zoning across most of the city.

Amazing!!!

W 70th Ave & Heather St.

I see an accident/near miss here almost every week. Also, Heather's marked as a bike route, but drivers frequently fly through stop signs like they don't exist. Overall, bad visibility, nonexistent biking infrastructure, and no respect for cyclists/pedestrians.

What happens if he is unable to win his riding?

Work planned for 2028-2032? Seems excessive. What is up with that timeline?
