This is my breaking point, I’m so sick of this place. We can't seem to help ourselves from repeatedly complicating very simple questions like "Should children feel safe outside a school?" with endless studies, pilots and consultations until only the loudest voices remain.
Paolo@internet_paolo

the @CityofVancouver actually saw children playing and said "this is nice but space outside the school should be reserved speeding drivers and six parked cars"

@CityofVancouver why are the potted plants in the bike lane? I have put in 2 reports and no responses. This on Beatty near Robson Street. Been like this for 3 weeks. It is dangerous, very hard to get my toddler bike chariot past it.

@NatalieCushing The split is happening- we saw it during the sport field vote last meeting too.

Oops, in a quickly-deleted tweet Councillor Klassen accidentally posted the wrong article; one that gives a much more accurate representation of yesterday's vote. Here's the story ABC doesn't want you to read, with excerpts below (🧵) vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

SCHOOL BOARD ALERT: The Vancouver school board is considering the closure of Carleton Elementary tonight. The school is in the heart of Joyce/Collingwood - where hundreds of families and children will live in future.

@CraigCameronWV @fumano I am politically centrist. Far too much market intervention Craig - Condos already fund affordable housing with cash / in-kind CACs, DCLs, double PTT, GST and Corporate taxes. It’s simply insane to suck more blood from the host with rental vacancy taxes on unsold condos.

We are in the midst of a generational housing crisis. We need action. This lack of movement on the Vancouver Plan is totally unacceptable. Work must be expedited. And high-priority pieces - like @christineeboyle's social housing reforms - must be implemented immediately.
@

Wow -- staff are saying delivering the "Vancouver Plan" will take another 3 years?! So we'll be looking at 8 years since it was launched before it actually leads to anything concrete. What a sad failure of every level of leadership in Vancouver

The Vancouver School Board has voted down @reddyforchange's budget amendments. As the cost of living climbs, they have voted against childcare, against school food programs, against adult education, and against school supplies.

@melodyma As a nearby resident I am curious what would you prefer instead? Currently it is a parking lot.

Hundreds of similar beautiful children were killed by his fellow citizens and thousands were kidnapped. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian people killed. Ovechkin has always supported the criminal Putin who caused these crimes. Continuation… russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2023/04/23/ale…

Deaths due to toxic drugs in 2022 has been increased to 2,314, making it the deadliest year on record. Unregulated drug toxicity is the leading cause of unnatural death in BC, accounting for more deaths than homicides, suicides, MVIs, drownings and fire deaths combined. #bcpoli

Stratas playing games, maybe to discourage renting due the B.C. government removing the ability for them to ban renters. Charging a $4000 non refundable moving fee. Wonder if people are seeing a lot of this and if the govt is watching . . . @SusieChant_nvs @BowinnMa @KahlonRav
@

@604realtor @Tonyspagnuolo It’s actually worse. She sent me the actual minutes. It’s actually $4000 move in and move out. And payable when “asking permission” lol.
