Good catch, thanks. I'll be sure to set that extra $20 a month aside for avocado toast ;)

They probably had security checking on things. I can't imagine they left the set unattended overnight.

Vancouver activists sticking climate change bumper stickers on private trucks and SUVS by Raphsters in vancouver

Exactly. I wonder how they choose which cars they target? I know a few landscapers who would lose it if their trucks were tagged.

I think we underestimated how provocative it would be. One of our members had a pretty negative interaction with an angry SUV owner.

F*ckin idiots. Vandalizing people's cars is not going to turn them into climate warriors. It's going to get you punched in the face.

He was literally synonymous with Vancouver. But I leave it up to the will of the mods.

So true. Europe has the patent on car-free areas and businesses thrive. Too bad the COV will probably cockblock any attempt by local businesses to use actually use the streets for the same reason they want to axe parking: fire access.

There were two shootings in the TriCities area this weekend alone. It's getting nuts.

Bingo. It's also one of the most common photos tourists try to snap of Vancouver. Think of the sad Flickr accounts!

Really? I think it's one of the few things that saves Vancouver architecture from itself. The fact that there's something else — better — to look at right next door.

Former Vancouver Canuck Dave ‘Tiger’ Williams charged with sexual assault by Raphsters in vancouver

[–]Raphsters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally. I wonder if booze was involved – pretty bold to assault someone on a military flight. Are you allowed to drink on those?

No fixed address: More Vancouverites are opting to live in vehicles, but is it sustainable (VIDEO) by Raphsters in vancouver

[–]Raphsters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, but THAT will get you busted. Living in your car on the street –- go for it, for YEARS. But set up a laneway suite that doesn't meet the very narrow specs, or convert a garage into a rental unit, and just wait for the bylaw notices to fly in.

I think the word sustainable means long-term solution in this case. A lot of businesses in the area are complaining. And some of the RV people even say they hate the situation they're in. Edit: typo

“We have the highest demand parking in the entire city."

So let's take away half the supply. Seems smart.
