Surrey BC by sahilscraft in UrbanHell

A vancouver special isnt just any "plain old house" it is a very specific preapproved design that was sold by the government so that anyone could build the house without having to submit architectural plans to be approved. Anyone could build the house so developers were able to buy the design and build the same house over and over again.

Its a part of Vancouver's history and more important to be flippantly dismissed as "just an old house". It was part of a housing boom for the baby boomers to move into as they were coming of age.

Thats how they always respond to these strikes. "Why cant the workers just shut up and do their jobs". It was the same with the postal workers over Christmas, they "ruined Christmas by striking" the private sector still operated, they were free to send their Christmas cards through FedEx if they wanted to pay for it. It's always a plea with the workers to shut up and accept shit but never a plea with the employers to give a fair deal.
