A poster for the Queen City Urbanist Book Club for their Wednesday October 7th meeting from 7pm to 9pm at the Cathedral Community Centre including a picture of the cover of the book Escaping the Housing Trap by Charles Marohn, Jr and a quote from the book: "When housing becomes a good investment for homeowners by reliably going up in value year after year, it impairs the ability of non-homeowners to purchase a home. When housing as a form of esteem or self-actualization leads home-owners to demand exclusionary zoning practices, it makes it difficult for needed housing to be built.”

This Wednesday will be the final reading of the the 10% transit fair increase bylaw. This is the last opportunity for city council to reconsider. The previous reading vote passed with a split of 6-5. There's a possibility that a vote could change and the transit fare increase will not go into effect
