@RobShaw_BC@TheOrcaBC@Glacier_Media I know the tax is meant to curb foreign investment, but if wealthy BCers that are hoarding housing get caught up in the crossfire .. i do not care.
@BCbrews@Ben_coli I agree the market is very saturated, with a lot of breweries making the same stuff (kudos to Dag for bucking this trend), but Studio had a very real and logical place in the market, geographically and product-wise. But there's no money in beer, sadly.
@Bambammon @KenSimCity claiming to be an environmentalist got legit belly laugh out of me. What a profoundly absurd thing to say when every single policy decision he's made as mayor has been the complete opposite. Absolutely zero chance.
@j_mcelroy This one hurts for sure. Good spot, good people, good beer. Although I live in 'yeast van', I ended up here more than most local breweries because it was a great bike destination. Shame all the folks about to live a block away in the new development won't have this as a local
@i_heart__bikes you are a pathetic and miserable person who clearly lashes out to spread misery to others. everyone on your list is a better person than you.
@Mihai_Cirstea_ There is literally a world of great examples for how to have implemented that and yet Vancouver council ignored all of it. Sooo not surprised
@pwaldkirch Making driving unattractive, coupled with providing safe and convenient alternatives, is LITERALLY THE POINT.
Also, when will politicians learn that more car infrastructure just means more cars stuck in traffic? It's widely and thoroughly proven.
@StormBrewingVan This is literally the only attractive thing for blocks around, this is beyond parody levels of ridiculous. @Vote4ABC what gives?? Can't you let anything good just exist?
@thoughts4youtoo@MikePMoffatt The knee-jerk reaction to the sky-high prices is that there's insufficient supply, but I don't think that's true - or at least not the main issue. It's that we've allowed the wealthy to hoard and control our housing, while everyone else is trying to hang on.
City of Vancouver staff are recommending AGAINST adding active transportation lanes on Broadway, despite overwhelming support from council.
Here are the top 15 reasons to support active transportation lanes on Broadway! (I was going to do top 10 but kept thinking of more!) 🧵
The cars that are hitting these barriers would have also hit a kid in the same location. The barrier did nothing wrong here; this is happening because we let things get way, way too bad.
Hey @CityofVancouver this is second incident I’ve seen caused by these useless ‘slow street’ barricades installed last month. They don’t slow down traffic; they cause crashes and traffic chaos.
@jillreports@CityofVancouver If you look at this image and think the yellow barricade is the dangerous object in the photo, your deduction skills are abysmal.
I don't think they're a perfect solution either, but if they aren't slowing down cars then we need to try even harder.
@Mihai_Cirstea_ Good list! It's so upsetting that a lot of folks cite accessibility in their argument for car access, when in fact it's multi-use active transportation infra (and better funded public transit) that actually improve accessibility for those with mobility challenges.
@Vote4ABC I see that you don't understand what accessibility means. Limiting safe use of the shared infrastructure to only those using cars to access the park is quite the opposite of accessibility, particularly because they've still had full access this whole time.
@luccampbell You had my enthusiastic support off the bat. We desperately need to bring back passenger rail everywhere. We are being conned out of our time, money, and safety without it.
