I appreciate your analysis - can't get this level of detail anywhere else, certainly not from media. Question, however. You urge support for TEAM Vancouver in the municipal election. You say that TEAM will not carry through with the Broadway or Vancouver Plans. What would TEAM do instead, to address housing affordability and climate change?
For the City Council sessions (July 6 & 22), I sent in a comment in which I noted that the Vancouver Plan does not indicate "Cambie Village" on any of their maps.
Cambie Village, as defined and described in Section 4.1 (pages 38 through 47) in the Cambie Corridor Plan (May 2018), extends along Cambie from 16th to 25th (King Edward Avenue).
In an email (which failed to go through), I attempted to send three screenshots taken of pages 38, 40, and 44 of the CCP document. Because I could not attach them to this comment, I simply refer you to those pages in the CCP document. Please note that, for the apartment buildings that line Cambie between 19th and 24th Avenues, the CCP states the following:
The existing RM-3A zoning will be retained to preserve this stable rental housing.
The proponents of the Vancouver Plan either are ignorant of, or chose to ignore, what is in this City document.
If Council or Staff members are ignorant of the contents of the CCP, then they should be alerted to this discrepancy (as I attempted to do in my comment to Council).
If Council or Staff members chose to ignore the contents of the CCP, then when can residents rely on any City-issued document?
Thank you.

Thank you for your insights and detailed analysis.
