I wonder if anyone (journalists) has ever done a title search in rezoned areas and cross referenced owners with city employees? Might be interesting to go back 20 years or so.

The DP app lookup used to list the proposals by address which you could then expand to see the plans. Now with how the Shape City website is constructed, it's almost impossible to see what's being proposed in your neighbourhood.

The city politicians and staff have no business in running a covert exercise regarding any property development proposals when they are there to represent the public interest including developers!

Brian: I have been following your blog for the past few weeks. I am very active in the Marpole Community and I am continually appalled at the variances granted to developers for high rise buildings in Marpole contrary to the Marpole Plan. I would love to have a conversation, is this possible? Thanks.

City Hall should be TRASPARENT. When Mot, one knows something is not according to zoning.

Vertical housing I have come to Accept. High density, especially when against City zoning is illegal in my mind. All data should be available in order to have a free and open city for All, and to afford community input.

Thank you

Before your son broke down in tears, you should have told him about the strong renter protections that go along with the Broadway Plan. And as a renter, your son is probly paying sky high rents, so it would be of great benefit to him and many other renters that a large new supply comes on line - which the Broadway Plan will provide. High rents in Vancouver are certainly a supply issue.
