I was away so couldn’t attend, but have written and written and gone to council.
The only way out of this is to vote out council and redraft a plan. Eby winning is a disaster to this city and province. That alone has caused a lot of problems. People think this plan will provide a home, how stupid can you be.
The focus is to go back to the old neighborhood city planning process and deal with the health/opiod issues. Lowere taxes! Robertson created a disaster, saying I will build you a home. Insanity.
The horse is out of the gate and we need to get it back on the corral!
Tired of hearing about only the rich can live here. What kind of city will we up with? Manhattan.
I so believe in every word you say, saw the the train coming down the track - 40 years are as city staffer. There is no planning here, no functioning process for schools, parks and health. I have moved out of Vancouver. Can bear to see it destroyed.
This massive developer/speculator plan reminds me of post Second War city "urban development" schemes, including the planned clearances of low income residents in Strathcona and other Eastside neighbourhoods if the citizens of Vancouver wouldn't have fought the introduction of a freeway through the middle of the city. It also brings to mind the clearances of centuries ago when peasants were driven off common land by powerful money interests of those times. It seems that Vancouver City Council, its Planning Department and the powerful interests that have pushed through the Broadway Plan still see residents who live in the neighbourhoods that will be highly effected as peopled by urban peasants with who have no rights.
