In BC, real estate speculation, home flipping, and money laundering through real estate have had significant impacts on housing availability and affordability.

The city implemented the tax based on observable conditions. If genuinely interested, you can read their report on the program and its relative success.

Vacancy rate is still low because people are hoarding empty units, not releasing them into the market. More units created more wealth, without really creating more housing.

Building more supply is necessary, but not sufficient. Vancouver (BC) prioritized condo development, and now has a vacancy tax because so many units are just held as investments. Developers turn a profit regardless of whether units ever serve any residential function. Vancouver remains unaffordable.

Agreed. Police have a long history of this tactic in Canada, with ‘starlight tours’ to murder Indigenous people. gladue.usask.ca/node/2860

As I was saying: "The two parties are unconsciously regarded as akin to a husband and wife in a traditional marriage in which it's the job of the wife to placate and soothe the husband and help him realize his goals or be held responsible for his outbursts and outrages."

The Trump admin is going after subsistence rights of Alaska Natives, in part by lobbying from the safari group representing sport hunters. This is part of a larger move building against Native land rights in AK (re: mining, oil). You don’t have to be Native or a resident of AK to leave a comment!

Additionally, this misses the infrastructure needs that limit housing development in less urban areas, which is most of the province. You can’t fast track apartment complexes in communities without adequate public water and sewer systems.

Merideath @merideath.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

This misses some key challenges… you note how Vancouver is skirting provincial housing legislation without mentioning the city’s vacancy tax, which exists because vacant units are profitable investments regardless of whether they serve any residential function.

An eloquent image: Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults. I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Agreed. It’s silly to expect a private sector driven by market (investment) demand to suddenly accommodate actual residential need. These two objectives are often (always?) in conflict, and few seem willing to even discuss disentangling them.

People who are fed easy (but not great) solutions to their problems tend to get lazy. People who get intellectually lazy (like chatgpt users) are not exercising their brains. ChatGPT users get stupider. In the end it's those of us who won't use AI who will get the shit done.

To whom it may concern:
I write in my capacity as Chair of the Senate Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism regarding your organization's alleged role in financing and materially supporting the coordinated protests and riots that have engulfed Los Angeles in recent weeks. While peaceful protest is a cornerstone of American democracy, these demonstrations have escalated into lawless mob actions. They have obstructed federal law enforcement, endangered public safety, and disrupted the rule of law. This lawlessness is unacceptable. It must end.
Credible reporting now suggests that your organization has provided logistical support and financial resources to individuals engaged in these disruptive actions. Let me be clear: bankrolling civil unrest is not protected speech. It is aiding and abetting criminal conduct. Accordingly, you must immediately cease and desist any further involvement in the organization, funding, or promotion of these unlawful activities.
Furthermore, please preserve the following records from November 5, 2024 to present:
1. All internal communications, including emails, text messages, chat logs, and messaging applications, relating to protest planning, coordination, or funding.
2. All financial documents related to protests, demonstrations, or mobilization efforts in Los Angeles or elsewhere relating to immigration enforcement.
3. All third-party contracts or vendor agreements, including any arrangements with event organizers, transportation providers, security personnel, or communications consultants relating to immigration enforcement or the Los Angeles protests, or similar pr…
