OneCity is holding a contested mayoral nomination, and their two candidates, William Azaroff and Amanda Burrows, were on the Cambie Report. Link to the full episode below.

Here's what they had to say about housing (see follow up posts for alt text):

This year the BC government set the wealth test for the HOG at above $2M, while renters get income tested at around $65k (adjusted net family income) for the full tax credit and get less money than the HOG for e.g. my condo.
(Yes, this is my annual call to get rid of the HOG)

We asked this question and got tons of replies & messages here and on Instagram.

The next step is to PLEASE email council with your personal stories. It's the one thing that sometimes genuinely changes their minds. We probably only need to convince 1 vote.

IMPORTANT: Here in Vancouver on Sept 17th, City Council will consider a motion by Councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social directing Staff to look at allowing 6-storey apts & retail at corners along active transport streets & around parks. This idea should have been done 10+ years ago.

Please support.
Support more housing along bike routes and by parks! Here's how: - Peter Waldkirch Webzone
Lucy Maloney's (OneCity) motion to legalize housing by parks and bike routes is housing and climate action. Here's how you can support it!

Apartments (including rentals and below market homes!) are banned from most of the city's nice side streets.

That sucks!

@lucymaloney.bsky.social's motion to legalize 6 floor apts by parks and bike routes could help change that.

Here's how you can show support:

Good Morning! CBC's The Early Edition is on the air.
I'm waking up unusually tired this week, even for a guy who gets up at 3:00 AM.
I think I might be in Star Trek TNG Season 6, Ep. 5. The one where Riker is tired because aliens are abducting him in his sleep and doing experiments on him.

Autant je suis content de tout ce qui a été fait, autant je regrette qu'à un an de fin de mandat, seulement 37% du plan vélo a été réalisé.

À Paris, le vélo continue de battre tous les records ! 🚲

En 2024, la fréquentation des pistes cyclables a bondi de 34% ! Près de 15 000 cyclistes ont emprunté le Boulevard de Sébastopol chaque jour !

Et on va continuer, de toutes nouvelles pistes seront livrées à la rentrée.

... the countries that build public transit well, quickly, & cheaply all have something in common: most of the work is done by the government itself, using in-house expertise, rather than farming various parts out to private companies under the bullshit theory that private always = more efficient.

The long-awaited Rupert & Renfrew Plan is at Council tomorrow!

The Good: The plan "allows" 6-storey apartment buildings in most residential areas, (eventually) under zoning, i.e. without a spot rezoning process.

However...

Nous vivons la pire semaine pour l'écologie depuis longtemps.

Un cauchemar à la Don't Look Up, mais pour de vrai.

Vous savez pourquoi ? Parce que si l'écologie perd, c'est toute l'humanité qui perd.

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

At a time when we need unity, first-past-the-post is pulling us apart.

When a system keeps locking regions into one-party representation, voices are silenced and resentment grows.

We can't wait any longer. Demand proportional representation.
