🏗️cities are capitalisms playground for race-class struggle, and yet I love public housing, parks, trains, libraries, bike lanes & benches when we get them

We cannot leave something as important as senior care in the hands of private corporations that know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
It’s time to bring long-term care into the public and non-profit system where it belongs.

Care about parks planning and funding as population grows? Think there are too many dentist offices downtown? Worried about renters being displaced by redevelopment? Want to see a new elementary school built ASAP? WE HEAR YOU! These are important topics worthy of Council time to get right... 3/6

...which makes it amazing to me that NWP members of #NewWest Council sat silent for the entire 4 hours. No concerns raised, no ideas offered, no constructive feedback, nothing to say. They paradoxically refused to even take part, to do the jobs they were elected to, they get paid to do... 4/6

Instead of listening, instead of collaborating or contributing, they spend their time on-line and on regional media running #NewWest down. They shit on everything then complain about the smell. That’s not leadership, and that’s not the #NewWest spirit that makes this City a great community. 6/6
