What exactly does “public safety and affordability” mean to ABC? It certainly doesn’t seem to mean evidence-based measures like supportive housing that lead to greater affordability and public safety outcomes for everyone. 🧵1/5

Decisions at City Hall are falling short of our community values and leaving people behind: from banning supportive housing, cutting our sustainability office, to neglecting our public spaces. I’m running to be a OneCity council candidate to stand up for communities and the values we stand for.

US podcaster Ezra Klein is the rising star of the tech-funded "Abundance" movement, which calls for fast-tracking major projects. Seemingly wooed, BC's NDP invited Klein to present to caucus, just months after their own deregulatory spree. My latest for @thetyee.ca 🧵
