#vanre "any citizen walking around Vancouver with an IQ higher than a soil sample will also give you the same answer, anyone who's been forced out of the city because they can't afford to live here will give you the same answer" 2 minutes with Bruce Allen https://t.co/gQrt2T0D4Q
Vancouver mayor's disastrous decade can't end soon enough.."The city allows illegal cannabis shops to flourish & the chief of police says gang crime is the worst he's seen in 10 yrs. Not a point of pride." #vanpoli https://t.co/xYtaU45VUC
So rich people in mansion & factories are off limits, but not little kids? Isn't Marpole & Kalso locations single family districts? @VanMayorsOffice @MayorGregor @abilbond @MarpoleChildren@MarOakCA@MarpoleMatters@kitsresidents
Quote from the article: "One of the biggest barriers to being able to address homelessness … is you can't just put somebody with complex health issues and behavioural issues into an apartment and expect them to get better," Hughes said. "It just doesn't happen this way."
Seems like Nanaimo residents also have issues with lack of consultations with #TMH. @MarpoleChildren
Province, city announce plan to stack modular homes in south Nanaimo - https://t.co/Wpqn8SWdTL
Vancouver city hall, despite its massive communications department (currently 41 staff, including 4 designers), has hired an artist in residence for the engineering department. Germaine Koh will be paid $60K for fees and expenses for 18 months. #vanpoli#vanRE
False Creek North Res experience - @MayorGregor put shelters "w/i metres of a pre-school, daycare and seniors’ residence with little regard for the consequences....It became a magnet for drug dealers, prostitutes and petty criminals"
Same as #Marpole.

Shoddy research again @globeandmail & @wendy_stueck. Main & Terminal TMH tenants are low/fixed income people facing housing displacement. Marpole TMH tenants are services level 3 who are high risk offenders, substance use, untreated mental illness, conflict behavior, etc
@b5baxter@Surfcrest @rhubarbish @jackyang255@EllenYeung Thats apples and oranges. Would the 500 units all have 20% min VAT Level 3 individuals? No. Is low income housing same as homeless shelter? No. Remember that it is the improper process and lack of communication that people are upset about.
@b5baxter@Surfcrest @rhubarbish @jackyang255@EllenYeung 4 years would have been more than enough, but that was never provided. Initial plans years ago never mentioned TMH. Then bylaw was passed to avoid public hearing altogether, and suddenly residents first found out in Nov that TMH will be operating in Jan. Fair to feel betrayed.
@EllenYeung@Surfcrest @rhubarbish Marpole folks have donated numerous times to local church with winter items for the homeless. No one cares to mention those good deeds because it's not sensational - but instead some like to regurgitate one emotional lady's comments and smear entire Marpole with it? Grow up!
