Vancouver deserves safe schools. The School Liaison Officer program is helping reduce crime and improve safety around schools. This election will determine its future.

Single detached is quietly becoming one of the only plays that still makes sense over the next 5 years… maybe large duplexes if you do it right. We’re heading into a wave of gentrification in lower-end neighbourhoods. Watch places like Mission, Abbotsford, Chilliwack BC…. Land pricing right now is starting to look attractive for buyers who have been holding out. You’ll see more subdivisions, smaller lots, tighter detached builds. And if rents soften too much, a lot of landlords will just stop renting basements altogether, turn it into an entertainment area or guest suite maybe? We’ve seen that before. At the same time, a chunk of new development is going to stall. A lot of these multi-fam projects just don’t pencil, so developing single detached won’t make sense either, so they will just have to wait. The easy money phase is gone. And hopefully young Canadian families will start having more kids too. 😆

You sure do inspire many in Vancouver with your theories of housing supply lacking. I got zero beef with housing; except when you want to build housing where schools are being closed (Joyce Station) or downsized (Fleming Elementary) or under threat (Gladstone Secondary) #bced

Hey @kareemformayor I agree with your recent post that “Any decision between business and council regarding public lands should not be made behind closed doors. This decision should be made publicly.” Have you spoken up about the City’s secret negotiations with the Whitecaps?

I emailed media officials at 15 municipalities within Metro Vancouver to get the number of unbuilt housing units, below. Along the way I learned the number of govt. communications people who provide their pronouns: 9 (7 "she/her" / 2 "he/him") #vanpoli

Real estate insolvencies are on the rise, and the worst isn’t over theglobeandmail.com/real-est…

Parents should be outraged that money allocated for classrooms will now go to pay Beedie's legal fees, due to how incompetently @vsb39 leadership handled this (while paying their CEO @hemremmem over $470,000 in 2024/2025)! Outrageous.

The @VSB39 squandered MILLIONS that should have been spent on students by so badly handling this case. There was a much better approach, which they chose to ignore. Heads should roll. Parents should be outraged. I am. #vanpoli connectcre.ca/stories/beedie…

Metro Vancouver city councils have approved a whopping 132k housing units. But developers haven't started to build them. Much money can be made by monetizing such "entitlements" through a resale or flip. 1/2 #vanpoli #vanre #bcpoli vancouversun.com/opinion/col…

1. The fired @sd61 (Greater Victoria) school trustees got another big win in their court case against B.C. Ed Minister @lisabeare, who has been fighting against having to release documents regarding her decision to fire turn over police in schools. /2

I'm thrilled to see @fabulavancouver enter the #vanpoli race. She knows the city and its issues inside and out, is pragmatic and smart, and values the things that make our neighborhoods great to live in. We'd be lucky to have her representing us at city hall. ✅

For the public record. Screenshot 2:30 pm Mon March 9. Just 28 hours before crucial Vancouver 30-yr ODP Public Hearing. City has NOT posted correspondence for days. No one, not even City Council can see what others have written. The entire process lacks legitimacy. #vanpoli #VancouverODP
