Here I am, minding my own business, nose in my Duolingo app desperately trying to learn a new language to get out of here, when up pops an ad from the BC gov reminding me it's respiratory illness season, so get my shots, wash hands and...no mention of masks, of course #bcpoli

An interesting blog article on Vancouver's long history of fractious rental crises. #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre activehistory.ca/blog/2023/11/1…

Every once in a while I trot out a variation on this photo of downtown #newwest and wonder, with all this supply, why my rent is not $49.50 a week. This doesn't even show the new Dill Dopolis Towers on (in?) the river or the two new towers on Carnarvon. #vanre #bcpoli

I've always wondered how the WiFi reception is for the penthouse here, or if I could warm up my dinner just by leaving it on the counter. #newwest #vanre

'Coherent town planning in Britain has all but collapsed under pressure from the construction industry. Cities eager for tax revenue, such as London, Manchester and Birmingham, appear open to any form of development.' Sounds familiar #vanre #vanpoli theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

These things have become a grotesque, dangerous, effing plague in #newwest, the diametric opposite to where we should be going as a society, but I can't hope for a similar response here. City of New Westminster theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Police ask for help finding missing teens. #vanpoli bc.ctvnews.ca/police-ask-for…

Or you could save yourself a million plus, and buy a personal jetpack that could get you wherever you want to go, save existing housing, cool the flames of gold rush speculation, and get yourself voted the coolest person on the block, forever. #vanre #vanpoli #bcpoli

I challenge Vancouver's greatest builders to make my concept art, a one hundred storey 'for sale' sign, a reality. Think 'Eiffel Tower', but for Vancouver. #vanre #vanpoli #bcpoli

I've been looking for cheap luggage lately, but I think I will take a pass on this. As a site-specific conceptual piece on our materialistic culture, it's not bad, though. #newwest

If a landlord...SOMEHOW...just CAN'T cover operating their buildings, they can pass on the costs to the tenants--FOREVER. But if I experience some hardship, can I ask for even a short term break on the rent? HA! HA! Ha ha ha ha ha #bcpoli #vanre thetyee.ca/News/2024/06/0…

Was there some sudden, world-wide oat-blight I didn't hear about? Up until...now...this had been usually $6.99. Safeway strikes again I'm going to be reduced to the cat food keto diet yet. #greedflation

If the BC Liberals can change their name, I want to know why the BC NDP can't be legally forced to change theirs. Pandering, appeasing, and active collusion with this highly exploitative industry is the last thing they should be doing. #vanre #bcpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

In need of much comfort food lately...so, off to Safeway to get a pie, but what's this? the box looks...wrong! Suspicion! Don't buy pie, go home find box from last week Yup. Last week, a hefty 750 ml This week, 680 Same price, of course! #shrinkflation Sobeys #bcpoli
