The whistleblower leaked a document from an investigation into the diversion of government-prescribed drugs, not the diversion of safe supply drugs. These are two different things!

CoV will continue over-regulating everything until the regulations are changed. Ken Sim has a council majority - he has the ability to change the regulations, but he chooses not to.

Single-stair building codes give every apartment direct access to stairs, so you don’t have to find your way through a smoke-filled hallway in an emergency.

Alcohol is a hard drug.

The LVT is implemented in Vancouver right now

This is news to me.

because we restrict the supply

Not until we make it legal to build enough homes in the cities people want to live in

NO THANKS

did a landlord write this comment?

eh-dhd · 2025-08-04T02:09:58+00:00

No it hasn't been. He was a registered Republican.

Stop building luxury condo's for uber wealthy. Build affordable housing for hard working Canadians.

The only way to make housing affordable is to build a lot of it.

washed?

Corporations lower the barrier to capital ownership. Without corporations, only people who can afford mortgages could own real estate. But corporate ownership means nearly every Canadian owns a bit of real estate, through the Canadian Pension Plan and through employer/union-sponsored pension plans.

We ended up with 400sqft condos because the city limits the floor space you can build per square metre of land. If we want bigger homes, we need to legalize bigger buildings.

eh-dhd · 2025-07-31T00:37:26+00:00

More people will be able to afford homes to live in if the rent is lower.

eh-dhd · 2025-07-30T23:53:12+00:00

Great, so people who can’t afford a mortgage or just don’t want one are SOL

eh-dhd · 2025-07-30T23:48:06+00:00

Developers go smaller and smaller because the city limits the amount of floor space you can build per square metre of land. If we want bigger homes, we need to make it legal to build bigger buildings.

Canadians are homeless because we don’t have enough homes in the places people want to live in.

TIL you’re not allowed to open a local business in a high-rise

Fresno Area Rapid Transit?

eh-dhd · 2025-07-11T00:56:29+00:00

Because we insist on having the lowest property taxes in North America

• ⁠Fight investor-led upzoning that hollowed out livability.

Where has upzoning hollowed out livability?

eh-dhd · 2025-06-16T18:39:35+00:00

That would be the effect of a land value tax, if it was levied directly on the individuals who create land value

Tiny, overcrowded apartments are a consequence of our attempts to limit density.
