27 experienced Vancouver city builders tell Carney stop the madness on housing

“Without addressing land value inflation, financial speculation, and tenure security, supply-side interventions risk worsening the very crisis they aim to solve.”

@Jessica59214001 Oh, wow! I looked back on the post & it's from 2009. Unfortunately, I don't have the Angel Numbers book anymore. The interwebs says it signifies spiritual awakening, communication from God/angels ♥️

If there's a number you've been seeing a lot lately, tell me what it is and I'll look up its meaning in Doreen Virtue's book "Angel Numbers"

@kimberly_mauger Oh, wow! I looked back on the post and it was from 2009. Unfortunately, I don't have the Angel Numbers book anymore. The interwebs says it signifies healing, transformation, "on the right path." Sounds reassuring :)

@Leah_Holiove yes! Nice that it wasn't snowing! 😂

A minimum $85,000 income to qualify for "affordable" housing in #Vancouver is unacceptable. #housingcrisis #housingnow. Please share widely #Canada #Canadian https://t.co/L4oTadVE7V

@paulcastain Thanks so much, Paul!! And thanks for asking the question! 🙂

@360Theatres @CliffordBridge awesome!!!

I love this, & have a question: What if you're dealing with a difficult person in the present moment... someone who is actively hurtful & it's difficult to have compassion because they "should" know better? Can we be present in the moment without always feeling good?

One of the factors that can make us regret past decisions is that it’s hard to recall the full array of complex reasoning and emotion considerations that went into making them, making them seem less thought-out and compelling than they actually were.
