BC has lost nearly 100,000 apartment units renting below $1,500/mo from 2016-2021 due to redevelopment, lack of maintenance, conversion to STR’s like Airbnb, & rapid rent escalation, displacing many lower-income renters

Landlord use is not
“use of space” it is using the rental property as a primary dwelling aka Home.
Landlord (or immediate family child/parent) only,
Not STR hospitality business suites (@airbnb)
Investing in exploitation.
What makes sense:
People living in homes.
Sky Alert! An Annular Solar Eclipse is happening and you don’t want to miss it! In Vancouver, the eclipse starts at 8:08am. The maximum will be at 9:20am. Note that the sun rises at about 7:30, so it will be very low in the sky during the eclipse. #solareclipse
Religion without reason, unquestioned ideologies,
fandom, cultism, populism, partisanship, polarization extremism all
foster & fuel conflicts
Conflicts that destroy our collective humanity.
We lose.
Who gains?
