Personally I think Vancouver's residential areas desperately need more commercial spaces to make communities more walkable. Here's your chance to have your say.

Good idea. We give Trudeau the median family's salary and he has to find a 2-bedroom apartment literally anywhere in any Canadian city.

Hot take here I know, but good, gas is too cheap.

god damn I'm whiny enough working in an office and having to wear pants/button-up shirts, can't even imagine how miserable it can be working outside all day.

Love this. Beautiful production, killer harmonies and Victoria's voice is stunning

"dealing with" is a charitable way to describe "pacing around my apartment desperately trying to avoid thoughts of existential dread"

Fighting this with regulation is a losing battle. The mobility revolution is already here. The long-term solution is to build more mobility lanes to accommodate.

I truly don’t understand the greedy landlords restrict supply thesis.

Why isn’t this a phenomenon we see everywhere? Why is it only the last few years? Haven’t landlords always been greedy? Why is housing currently cheaper in Calgary or Edmonton than Vancouver?

These are all very simply explained using principles of supply and demand. It’s now illegal to build apartments in 80% of the land in our largest cities, of course there’s a housing shortage.

Personally I have no problem with him being a landlord, but when he blames the housing crisis on “greed” instead of the very obvious housing shortage that enables the greed, it’s worth noting the hypocrisy.
