Why are we wasting resources in BC for construction of more hotel buildings?
Apartment buildings could be mixed-use for short-term rentals/hotels, and of course supportive housing.

Increasing rates is done in order to reduce demand.
When you see inflation on necessities like food and shelter, what are you going to do to reduce demand?
Inflating prices on necessities doesn't reduce demand, it reduces people's ability to get what they need.

And being Independent, they have no strings attached to…
❗️️ Why 2024 BC Independents Are Unique ❗️

🗳️ "Split Vote" Excuse Hinders Democracy 🗳️
"Split vote" is a really convenient phrase that softens the blow of taking away a voters choice, but what it's doing is trying to be an excuse to shuffle votes a certain way.
Isn't democracy about choice? And if so, does 1 person have the power to drop a bomb and take away the choice of a voter by eliminating candidates?

Since the short-term rentals legislations came into effect, real estate agents have been noticing much less pre-sales for studios and one bedrooms coming through, even though data is showing that the biggest need is for studios and one bedrooms.
It's come to light that the data has actually been skewed, because of the amount of purchases made for investments, rather than for people to actually live in units.
