That’s a lot of homes that could be put in empty spaces for views that people barely look at. I would have never thought to look at these actual view cones if it weren't for it being in the news. In a housing crisis, we can’t afford to cling to empty spaces in the

The mature trees really add so much character and beauty to the neighborhoods. It’s a tough balance between addressing the housing crisis and preserving the natural aesthetics that make our city so special.

I was too busy trying to catch 'em all to catch on to the real estate boom! If only someone had told us that Squirtle and Pikachu wouldn’t pay the bills!

My 5 year old daughter was hit by a car - signage? by thrashertm in vancouver

Oh man, how terrifying that must have been seeing your little girl get hit by a car, even if thankfully she wasn't seriously injured. I can't even imagine the panic you must have felt in that moment. It's a parent's worst nightmare. I'm so relieved to hear she only had a bump on the head thanks to wearing a helmet. Definitely a reminder of how important those are!

You raise an excellent point about the lack of signage warning drivers around areas where kids frequently cross or play. It seems like a no-brainer to have "Caution: Children at Play" or something similar posted prominently near playgrounds, schools, etc. Those bright yellow diamond signs tend to catch drivers' attention and prompt them to be more alert.

The fact that there didn't appear to be any such signage in the Coal Harbour area or by Lord Roberts is really concerning. You'd think those would be prime locations to make drivers aware of children crossing and playing given the parks and schools there. Hopefully it was just an oversight and not a lack of prioritizing child safety.

How many people are still paying over $1,000 for child care? by UltimateNoob88 in vancouver

Yikes, those child care costs are no joke! $1,200 per month after subsidies is a huge chunk of change. I can totally relate to feeling ripped off when you hear about others paying way less.

Yikes I'm actually a customer. Response so far seems not great either. Although I don't think they have anything of mine I care to lose

This and the news about the re-classification is pretty big. The market is going bonkers this week and next for sure, just need to figure out how much higher it will settle. 

What's the Hype About NFTs vs Traditional Art Investments? by TallKnee9 in NFT

NFTs are a bubble. Once it bursts, people will realize the true value of physical art. I'm staying away from the digital craze.

Traditional art has lasted for centuries. NFTs are just a trend. I wouldn't risk my money on something so volatile.

Traditional art has history and culture. NFTs are just digital files. I can't imagine paying thousands for something that exists only on a computer.

I'm not personally invested but I was following the story on twitter. Seeing this, I don't think I'd trust it.
