In the past 3 weeks ABC has tweeted about " #publicsafety " 16 times. Yesterday they voted against a critical, data-driven measure that would objectively save lives.
12 pedestrians were killed on Vancouver streets last year, the most in almost 2 decades.
Sim and ABC don't care about your safety.
So asking rents are at about mid-2022 levels. And still far above 2019.
And know what people said about Vancouver's housing market then?
"Housing crisis."
The fact that rents are down a bit from their peak, but still at crisis levels, means govt needs to do more, not pat themselves on the back.
ABC isn't on here but they're over on the other site spreading misinformation about the VZ Action Plan, and also making it abundantly clear that they are choosing driver speed over human life. (1/3)
"[ABC councilors] made some excuses about wanting a balanced approach — and basically just saying that drivers being able to drive as fast as they want is more important than, you know, human lives"

The actual plan, which we're sure none of them read, was to reduce speeds on select arterials with high commercial and pedestrian volume. Streets like Denman, Main, or Commercial Drive. These are the streets where 93% of road fatalities occur.
FICTION: @petermeiszner.bsky.social claimed the Vision Zero plan would lower the speed on "streets like Boundary Rd, Clark, Knight St."
FACT: The report clearly references streets with "high pedestrian activity" and "busy shopping streets."
Did Peter even read the report before gutting it?
A group that advocates for safe streets says it’s disappointed with the ABC majority on Vancouver city council for rejecting a staff recommendation they believe would have saved lives.
A transportation safety advocate is critical of a recent Vancouver council motion, in which amendments by the majority ABC slate meant that the city will not be reducing speed limits on major roads in...

Nice to speak to @geoffdembicki.bsky.social @desmog.com about leaked documents revealing the capacity of planned fossil plants for Canadian data centres + my estimate that if they became operational, they'd cause enough emissions to wipe out 15 years of progress

BREAKING: Mayor Ken Sim's ABC majority voted not to reduce speed limits on major roads, despite 93% of all road fatalities in Vancouver happening on arterials. This was one of the most important Near-Term Actions in the entire plan, because roads will never be safe until people drive at safe speeds.
