Thanks to Councilors Orr, Fry and Maloney for rais Thanks to Councilors Orr, Fry and Maloney for raising concerns about Holborn Group's supertall luxury project.  There were many reasons why this should have been sent back to staff and paused to allow a future council to weigh in on this one.

What a disgrace. This afternoon, ABC just voted t What a disgrace.  This afternoon, ABC just voted to approve a proposal that would displace tenants at Myron Manor (75 East 8th Avenue) to make way for a hotel catering to tech nomads. Hundreds of local residents spoke at Council and sent letters urging them NOT to approve this proposal. We need affordable homes, not more hotels. 

This morning, an ABC councillor speaking on a separate proposal remarked that, "governing is about listening and adapting" - and that people should not feel as though "their home is not their home." 

We hoped a majority of councillors would apply this same sentiment to the tenants at Myron Manor. 

It ain't over til it's over.  That's why we need a Council that fights for regular working people.

Vancouver City Council is rushing to approve Holbo Vancouver City Council is rushing to approve Holborn's three ‘supertall’ 63-to-79-storey luxury towers ahead of the next election. Meanwhile, the City hasn’t even finished public consultation on these kinds of supertall building projects. 🤔

Rather than fast-tracking an approval for a controversial project from a controversial company, City Hall should properly review this project after the municipal election on October 17th. The City needs to complete their public consultation on these projects before they build any supertall luxury towers. 

Together, let’s tell Council: not so fast. Join us at the public hearing on July 23rd and speak out against the Holborn supertall luxury towers. We’ll be holding a Rally at City Hall (5:30pm) before the hearing.

World Cup hotel room "crisis" narrative falls flat World Cup hotel room "crisis" narrative falls flat - and workers paid the price. Yesterday at our City Hall encampment, Local 40 leaders Fe and Gulzar explained how hotel workers lost hours during FIFA World Cup, yet Vancouver City Hall is rushing more hotel approvals. We have a message for Council: it's time to focus on affordability for regular working people, not just the richest among us. We need affordable homes, not more hotels!
