Nfc and their propagandists failed miserably. Ai art and phoney automation are already openly hated, we are all just waiting for the lever pullers to move on to something else.

They prefer to be called landlords in disadvantaged areas

The forces of capital figured this one out. They own all commercial property, they have pushed for health and safety laws that limit indoor assembly.

We will not get back to vibrant community spaces without churches or monied entities becoming class traitors.

Unwillingly?

Nice way to completely ignore what I'm saying in favor of repeating yourself.

Let's give this one more try. What do you think the actual result would be if the province, 70 years later, tried to seize rights in the Vancouver Charter against the cities will? No supreme court challange?

Also, i am removing any market incentives for unproductive assets like luxury apartments.

They crowd out functional housing for city residents and are used as speculative assets for the very wealthy.

A luxury apartment is one which exceeds 5 years of earned wages of the average area resident.

This is like saying "all power comes from the crown" while technically true, it's not practically true.

If the province tried to repeal the charter it would be a multi decade fight (and they would likely lose in the supreme court of canada)

What do you mean by non-sfh housing? Luxury apartments with no one living in them? Demolished single family homes, with a new luxury home built on top?

Monied interests are not building cheap housing for the people.
November 15, 2025 at 12:19 AM
That is not universally true, sorry.

The city of Vancouver can pass its own legislation under the Vancouver charter and that's been upheld in the supreme court of canada.

You are doing democracy right. Sean

Shouldn't journalists be doing this work? It seems like your profession is filled with lots of useless hacks.

Props to Councilor Orr for doing the democratically necessary thing.

Oh yeah, I'm aware. I was quoting the silly urbanist video.

Urbanism can be in service of a variety of goals and ideologies , but this particular urbanist seems to have a chip on their shoulder.

There are dozens of suburbs of Stockholm that look exactly like the photo above, though they mostly use busses

"solarpunk is a left wing ideology"

It really isn't, like most environmentalism, it's conservative innately. It typically relies on appeals that shift between equilibrium to spiritualism to moral bargaining to naturalistic fallacies.

And what are you going to do about it, yank? Why aren't you doing something about your president?

Billionaires get money from government contracts. Hope that helps.
