At @udibc to hear top notch panel comprising Vancouver's Josh White, Coquitlam Andrew Merill, Burnaby's Johannes Shumann and moderator Tracey McCrae from @TheAnthemWay. "No one can live in an approval.

Hoping there will be some community support for this innovative, affordable North Vancouver project that encourages buyers to invest in a home rather than a car! engage.zencity.io/dnv/en-US/proj…

@atrupar How much more proof do Americans need to realize their president is completely off his rocker and extremely dangerous?

Trump: "You know who else didn't help us? South Korea didn't help us. We've got 45,000 soldiers in South Korea to protect them from Kim Jong Un, who I get along with very well. He said very nice things about me. He used to call Joe Biden a mentally retarded person."

Since both @TheCurrentCBC and @CKNW @MikeSmythNews were discussing dismal condominium markets this morning, I thought I'd offer some thoughts on what's gone wrong and what needs to be done. gellersworldtravel.blogspot.com/2026/04/is-it-…

Why is the condo market dead? There's no doubt that municipal fees are adding to costs. But that's not the main reason. A key reason is that presale programs no longer make any sense. It's time for lenders to relax their requirements. Otherwise.... connectcre.ca/stories/condo-…

@rrrobbberttt @vikkhanna At the time, it was quite common for developers to pay over $200 psf for well-located rental housing sites. Today, it is difficult to make similar projects work with a land value over $100 psf.

@vikkhanna Approved floor area is 146,581 sq. ft. So they paid $211 per sq. ft. buildable What say you: Mark Goodman, @michaelgeller

LAND LIFT 22-storey rental highrise planned for Vine and Third Avenue in Kitsilano, within the Broadway plan. B.C. Assessment valued the entire site, with an older lowrise townhouse complex, at $12.8 million. But last year Marcon Developments actually paid $31 million for it.

A lot of people in the Hotel Vancouver Ballroom listening to BTY's Industry Breakfast to discuss what's happening to construction costs and other development issues.

Very much enjoyed @georgiastraight @ncaddell article about winners and losers in the Sim vs Orr debacle. And it is a debacle. straight.com/city-culture/w…

Concerned about the cost of your municipal government? This @kirklapointe article is well worth reading. nsnews.com/economy-law-po…

Ok but why is it $900 cheaper to drive down to Seattle and fly to Australia via Vancouver vs. skipping the first flight and going directly from Vancouver?! Genuinely curious — this makes no sense.

In case you were wondering, Chip Wilson's House came down 11% to where it was four years ago.

The 2026 BC Assessments are now online. Some are up, some are down. Some are down a lot. Dunsmuir House, for which I launched a third-party appeal last year (the value tripled) came down 19%. The nearby Bay Parkade came down 26%. The Bay store came down 12%. You can check your own properties at BCAssessment. ca

Can you solve it?

I don't think the @CityofVancouver should forego more than $1 million in property taxes to create community gardens like this. Do you? globalnews.ca/video/11589853…

I am pleased to share this 2026 Housing Forecast from today's @VancouverSun. I welcome your comments! vancouversun.com/homes/michael-…

I thought Generation Squeeze's Paul Kershaw and other young people hoping to purchase a home would appreciate this response to my latest Vancouver Sun column

dailyhive.com/vancouver/down… Every member of council and everybody working at City Hall on the downtown east side plan should read this. Dadly they won't because like 2014 they're being hijacked by the community.
