Dan Fumano: Vancouver parents desperate for daycare slam city hall rejection (vancouversun.com)

Opinion: This Vancouver daycare's proposed expansion clearly would not have solved the massive child-care shortage. But its rejection doesn't bode well for the city's ability to make real progress

So they're gonna buy out the neighbours and remove the problem?

8 new daycare spots is a fantastic little drop in the ocean, though, when a rec center could host 10 times as much with the same campaigning -- and munis LOVE opening daycares and they run rec centers. It's win-win except for someone in particular not running a fantastically lucrative business.

But 'only' 8 spots is like someone owning 'only' 2 cats. How can you deny the cherubic 9th kid? 10th? 11th sweetie? 12th needy yob? 30th indistinguishable jam-handed shrieker?

Sorry I truly don't understand what you're saying here... no one's buying anyone else out. It's a daycare.
