Cllr Guerra: “But the heights of the buildings were just devastating for these people” (neighbours 120M away…) Wait ‘til you hear the impact of decision on people who have waited a decade to have a home they can call their own… #disabilityrights peacearchnews.com/news/south-sur…

NEW: The City of Toronto just announced it spent ~$2,000,000 to violently evict 60 people experiencing homelessness from park encampments this summer. This is class warfare. They'd rather spend money to hide people living in poverty than actually help people living in poverty.

Through COVID we've had devastating loss of life and a small handful of gains. Let's not let our zeal for "normal" set us back on the teeny, tiny baby steps we've made on accessibility. What kind of society makes it illegal for people to participate in meetings electronically?

At #OneDaysPay we ask you to consider giving on the first #NationalDayforTruthandReconciliation on Sept. 30th to non-charitable organizations that are Indigenous led. Thx Kris Archie and The Circle on Philanthropy #ReflectThenAct

This is what treating people’s homes as an asset class in someone’s investment portfolio looks like in BC today. Counting on BC Housing and David Eby to step in before it’s too late!

Proud to be part of the team bringing these much needed new Community Land Trust co-op homes online. Shout out to Townline Homes TL Housing Solutions and all of our project partners but especially the existing co-op members who have been waiting for this day for a long time. 🥳

Still in the news and no solution as the deadline approaches for these members at risk. ow.ly/JSlE50GqnfL

A story worth telling. Instead of receivership and a private market redevelopment, these 97 co-op homes will soon grow to more than 400 affordable non-market homes. Thanks to David Eby BC Housing City of Coquitlam Richard Stewart for your support of Community Land Trust and CHF BC

Thread - In middle of climate emergency and #BCFlood, we see stark reality of state 'organized abandonment and organized violence' (h/t Ruthie Gilmore) : 1) Sikh gurudwaras around the province are leading relief efforts, while govt can't even figure out a text alert system.

The co-op housing sector in BC has an exciting year ahead as the Community Land Trust wraps up the construction of a new senior’s housing co-op on Fraser Street and construction is underway on a large co-op redevelopment in #Coquitlam to produce more than 400 new co-op homes! #bcpoli #coops

Please pay attention to these comments from Wet'suwet'en. Free them ALL. Work of journalists is not more deserving of public outcry than Indigenous land defense - which is precisely what the journos are covering. Remember, there are approx 18 other ppl with hearings on Monday.

The pending sale of a 244-household co-op to a private investment firm is a warning to other co-ops in #Burnaby and #Coquitlam about the financialization of housing. These are people's homes, not a vehicle to optimize return on investment. #affordablehousing

I have something I need to say about all this “escalating crime” discussion in Vancouver. I know Twitter sucks at listening but just try to read this correctly & not as a minimizing of safety concerns or conceding that this narrative of fear hasn’t been intentionally crafted...

I have so many thoughts. And together, they will make me unpopular with everyone. First, new homes cost what the market will bear, and without significant tax reforms and supply outpacing population growth, they will remain high regardless of their inputs. BUT 👇
