@baystreetamber King Darren 👏 👏 👏 should return the awards after being exposed as an incinerator of capital in a woke and helpless enterprise emblematic of BCs entire culture
@compoundpapi They do not listen. Have requested for this numerous times. They make minor progress with common sense capital allocation but do not calm lingering fears of demented decision making.
What you do with your home should be your choice.
Your ABC Vancouver team has listened to residents and directed staff to cancel the proposed Villages Plan after concerns were raised about mandatory zoning in some neighbourhoods.
We believe Vancouver needs more housing—but it must be done thoughtfully. That means adding homes where they make sense while respecting existing neighbourhoods and the people who have worked hard and invested their lives into their homes.
No homeowner should feel that City Hall is deciding the future of their property without their voice being heard.
We heard your concerns loud and clear and have directed staff to stop and end the plan immediately.
Our goal is simple: build more housing, protect property rights, and keep Vancouver a city of diverse neighbourhoods—not one-size-fits-all development.
Your ABC Vancouver team remains committed to making Vancouver safe, affordable, and a great place to call home.

@jhwfung@Lanefab Bryn has advocated and built. You’ve whined and obstructed — Chinatown is now one of the most shameful parts of North America. Not too late to change !!!
@Lanefab@jhwfung The country needs more Bryn’s, and to accept that there is no god given right to live in West Point grey. Bryn’s advocacy has liberalized land use to create greater optionality while Justin’s whining has been ineffective sand in the gears.
@IAmClintMurphy@JulieChangRE I’m with Julie, it looks like flyover suburban junk when it is supposed to be for the premier ‘villages’ in the most expensive infill part of the country.
One way to activate Granville Strip without raising taxes is to expand digital advertising in carefully selected locations between Georgia and Davie.
The revenue from those screens can fund street programming, public art, entertainment, cleaning, and additional policing. Simply pedestrianizing Granville isn’t enough. People need reasons to stay and celebrate.
Keep the patios. Bring in live music, performers, DJs, and other entertainment. Make it a destination.
Also it should primarily be an entertainment district for adults. Families are absolutely welcome, but not every part of the city needs to be programmed around toddlers. Family-focused programming belongs in places like Robson Square. Granville should embrace its identity. Once it’s cleaned up and this is in place you’ll see more businesses open that fit the vibe.
@BurrowsAmanda The street sweeps should persist so local taxpayers regularly feel comfortable and downtown adjacent neighborhoods can thrive with and for taxpayers.
