Yes! Read this! “Corridor zoning”, which packs high-density multi-family on major streets and transportation corridors, is classist discrimination to maintain a single family norm. You can see it on the ground on realtor.ca if you search for a condo (at any price) outside downtown in Vancouver, BC.

I appreciate all of you who use the Alt-text description for the images you post. As a blind dude I feel so much more included here.

For those of you who forget:
Did you know there’s a reminder in Settings/Accessibility to toggle on & then it won’t let you post image without Alt-text.

Thanks 🙏😎

White octagonal monument on a tiered concrete plaza, surrounded by concrete pillars in the shape of a T. Vancouver Sky Train is elevated in the background.

Did anyone else know that, near Clark Dr and 4th Ave, there’s a monument to the Vancouver Expo? It seems abandoned and completely forgotten. Like a brutalist Stonehenge, the monument in the centre just says “October 11, 1986”: the last day of the Vancouver Expo.

This is great, I’ve been looking for something like this! Also, I love finding other Vancouverites interested in how cities work. Thanks!

A concrete half-wall with a tree and dirt in front. The wall is spray painted with a sign that reads “Do Not Enter. Private Property. Fair Warning!”

The irony of this “Do not enter: private property” sign is that it’s sprayed onto the footings of the public Cambie St bridge in Vancouver, 🇨🇦

Vancouver expects to exceed five-year housing targets. But affordability remains a tricky question Vancouver staff say they're on track to exceed province's five-year housing targets. The toughest nut to crack, though, is affordability.

Really enjoyed Dan Fumano’s article on the COV housing supply today. It’s pithy, and also included two more Jerry Maguire quotes than I was expecting. #vanpoli #vanrealestate
