Over a thousand construction parking tickets in a matter of months and they want to charge 3K each. Parking tickets for tradespeople has become a revenue stream for cities that want to decrease taxes and increase service fees. #vanre #gethousingsmart tricitynews.com/local-news/coq…

'I'm not going to sell my home and move to Vancouver to live in a 2 bedroom condo the size of my garage.' -A great reason why people won't move to Metro Vancouver. And trust me, the tradesman who said this would be an asset in this city. #vanre #gethousingsmart

Government positions on housing I find ridiculous as a tradesman. - giving out more permits with limited labor and materials will make things go faster. - building faster will lower prices - building more will lower prices -lowering costs will lower prices #GetHousingSmart

Dear United States trans community. Dress warm and head north. Dear Canadian alt-right. If you don't like this dress cool and head south. I'd rather have a queer neighbor than a racist hateful one.

Clearly policy hasn't got the teeth it needs to. $824 million is a lot of momentum steering the real estate ship.

Truth Social comes up at the top of the list as a sponsored ad when I search for Bluesky in playstore. Sundar and Elon can both go F themselves.

This is ridiculous. Canada has the world's biggest gap between our emission targets and our actions, but our targets involve not being part of the problem in like 2050 or something. Imagine if we looked at world war II like that... #ClimateActionNow

If Canadian emission targets were like Canadian foreign policy, instead of stopping tyrants we'd commit to not arming them by some future date. Oh wait. That is our foreign policy. FFS we deserve #CanadianSolutions not excuses. #cdnpoli

I wish every Monday could begin with one less billionaire CEO in it. #DenyDefendDepose

Welcome to Canada. We are a bilingual country with tri-lingual construction sites. Sorry Quebec but apparently no one needs French on a danger sign in BC.

It's 2 days into the new year and Canada's top 100 CEOs have each already earned more money than most Canadians will earn in the entire year. Tax the rich.

Which opinion is the bigger obstacle in the face of a genuine crisis? #HousingCrisis #AffordabilityCrisis #ClimateCrisis

While LA is burning, Canada continues to build taller wooden buildings closer together while spraying our forests with herbicide to kill off the fire resistant non-lumber trees. We don't build for smarts here we build for investment. We need to #GetHousingSmart

According to local law enforcement, fentanyl kingpins are abducting their dealer's families until they're willing to sell fentanyl. But what does mayor Ken Sim do? He goes after the dealers... #SecurityTheater #vanpoli #opioidcrisis

To address the increasing cost of living, my landlord has reduced my water pressure, increased my rent and stopped doing maintenance. Sorry, I meant to address -his- increasing cost of living. Me, I just take up the burden. Cuz I'm a renter. #renting #landlords #inflation

Why is Canada being blamed for America's trade deficit? If they don't like the fact that they buy more from us than they sell to us, if they don't like the fact that they need us more than we need them then that is something -they- should be fixing.

Can't say I didn't warn you. We finally met demand, but brace yourself, there's going to be a 4-6 year #supplywhiplash like I've been warning about. #vanre #vanpoli #bcpoli #HousingCrisis biv.com/news/real-esta…

TransLink, the pseudo-crown corporation with a 500K salaried CEO that can't balance costs with revenue, is finally increasing service to some of the most overcrowded routes of #Vancouver. All they have to do is increase property taxes, transit fare and parking fees.

I don't know who needs to hear this but there's no survivable market manipulations that can make luxury housing affordable so stop asking how we can make -existing- housing more affordable and start asking how we can make -new- housing that is affordable. #affordability #housing

Called it. Empty homes are not safe. 'Vacant buildings are an increasing safety risk in Vancouver, officials say' share.google/tSkZIoUQxZgqF8…
