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…
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
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.
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.
