Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver

We have watched the humble dream of planting roots in Vancouver slip away. Take a stand or be forced out. For bold action- Vote Eric Redmond for Council (#130).

Whoa! 🇨🇦 population up 865,000 y/y and 360,000 last quarter alone.

Let's drop all the political correctness and have a real discussion about this. I have no idea what the "right" number is, but this is a massive amount of growth that probably sets up for a future housing crisis

@JShamess I think the key question is not “do you support immigration”, it’s the level of immigration. People who say today’s level is too high have good arguments. We’re in a housing crisis, and immigration at this level looks to be adding fuel to the fire.

Thanks to everyone who supported me and other pro-housing groups on the ballot! An ABC majority is a disappointment- the big money won 😕. Hopefully things won’t be as bad as I fear- I’m tired of watching people be forced out. It’s in your hands ABC…

@KNOPPStudios thanks for the chat yesterday!

You have ten votes for city council- Vote for the Affordable Housing Coalition, but also consider OneCity's four candidates as well. Whoever you vote for, please vote Oct 15th!

@RazzberryYams Wards, with ranked ballot. My worry is that without a ward system, areas with older (and wealthier) populations will be over represented. Renters in East Van probably don't turn up to vote like retirees in the west side do

[Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver @AHCVancouver]

It takes a lot of effort to sort through 58 candidates. Ward system anybody?

[Frances Bula @fabulavancouver]

Omg, someone just posted that advance voting starts today and I feel like I'm a month from being able to figure out who to vote for for Vancouver council, SB, PB. Can't imagine how the rest of you are doing.

[Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver @AHCVancouver]

@fabulavancouver Hi! We're on the ballot :)

We need to ensure that cheats are caught. AHC proposes a 'crimestoppers' type approach to Airbnb and vacancy tax enforcement. Help us find and fine violators - and get a reward.

[Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver @AHCVancouver]

@designerwhite @misst0pia Have you considered us? We only need one of your votes! :)

[Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver @AHCVancouver]

@evanineastvan @denisagar @OneCityVan Have you looked at us?

[Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver @AHCVancouver]

@RFaux1983 @denisagar @OneCityVan Haha- we just need one vote!

[Affordable Housing Coalition of Vancouver @AHCVancouver]

@RFaux1983 @denisagar @OneCityVan Have you though about us? :)
