This Sunday morning, come discuss housing & city-building with us & special guests Councillors Lisa Dominato & Peter Meiszner. And you can try the famous cinnamon buns! abundanthousingvancouver.com/202506_coffee?…

See you tomorrow morning!

Enjoyed meeting up with housing advocates and Abundant Housing Vancouver (Abundant Housing) members on Commercial Drive this morning, to talk housing policy and how we can continue to advance policy changes to create more homes citywide. #vanpoli #VanRE

A BC company is helping tackle the housing crisis through modular prefabrication. Local governments can help by proactively zoning for at least 12-storey buildings to ensure a steady flow of projects. Are any doing this? Not that we know of! vancouversun.com/news/intellige…

AHV has done nothing to support this rezoning application, but don't let that stop you from conspiracy theorizing!

"Overall, a lot of time has gone into this plan. 10,000 homes over 25 years represents a small contribution to addressing housing needs in Vancouver. The latest housing needs report states we need 56,228 homes in the five years to 2026, completions are less than half that."

Our happy hour is coming up! Take a break from the July sun or rain, as the case may be, and get to know some of your pro-housing neighbours! When: July 10, starting at 5 pm (but come when you can!) Where: Rogue Wetbar Waterfront Station eventbrite.ca/e/abundant-hou…

Lower housing starts mean lost tax 💰 & 📈 unemployment. Governments, including BC & metro Vancouver cities, need to take emergency action to lower the costs & enable more housing. Cutting immigration to "catch up" only works if we do the catching up part. missingmiddleinitiative.ca/p/torontos-hou…

Most of the world uses EU elevator standards, which means there's more suppliers and they're much cheaper than in North America (only 5% of the world market). There's nothing stopping Canada from using the EU standards as well as American standards. morehousing.ca/elevator-report

Our monthly happy hour is this Thursday, August 14! We're back at the Rogue at Waterfront Station, starting at 5 pm (but drop by when you can!). Hope to see you there! eventbrite.ca/e/abundant-hou…
