TheCesspit posted topic Wilson Commons (Vic West)

lpoutine,

TheCesspit has just posted a new topic entitled "Wilson Commons (Vic West)" in forum "City of Victoria".

Pricing and sales have started for this small townhome development on Wilson in Vic West - just near to the Save on Foods.

http://wilsoncommons.ca/

1 beds (478 sq ft) start at $415,000
2 beds (1031 sq ft) start at $760,000 with 3 at a covenanted 15% of market price as 'affordable' units at $646,000
3 beds (1149 sq ft) at $835,000

Price per square foot seems excessive to me - the 1 bedroom units seem really expensive, but I am not an expert.

John M. posted topic Upcoming BC Provincial Election

lpoutine,

John M. has just posted a new topic entitled "Upcoming BC Provincial Election" in forum "Victoria Politics".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Any idea about potential candidates on the South Island in either this year or next year's general election? Here are some of my thoughts:

Esquimalt-Metchosin
Incumbent Mitzi Dean (NDP) is very likely running again
BC Liberal: Probably not Barb Desjardins again. Maybe someone from Colwood or Metchosin?
Green: ?
NDP: Mitzi Dean

Langford-Juan de Fuca
Incumbent John Horgan (NDP) is running again
BC Liberal: ? (Could this finally be Stew Young's time to risk it, maybe in anticipation of this potentially being Horgan's last term, therefore opening up 2025 for him)
Green: ?
NDP: John Horgan

Oak Bay-Gordon Head
Incumbent Andrew Weaver (Independent, former Green) retiring.
BC Liberal: Roxanne Helme (Nominated)
Green: ?
NDP: ? (Marianne Alto?)

Saanich North-Islands
Incumbent Adam Olsen (Green) is running again
BC Liberal: Stephen Roberts again? I know he's still president of the riding assocation. I could also see a current or former municipal politician, such as Carl Jensen or Steve Price, going for it
Green: Adam Olsen
NDP: Gary Holman has maintained his community presence, but may be getting up there. Maybe Central Saanich councillor Zeb King? (known NDPer)
Saanich South
Incumbent Lana Popham (NDP) is running again
BC Liberal: David Calder again?
Green: ?
NDP: Lana Popham

Victoria-Beacon Hill
Incumbent Carole James (NDP) retiring
BC Liberal: ?
Green: ? (Maybe Kalen Harris again? Racelle Kooy? Or even Lisa Helps?)
NDP: ?
Could Ben Isitt take a run here? For the NDP (his traditional home, but now seems quite unlikely)? The Greens? Maybe even the nascent Eco-Socialists?)

Victoria-Swan Lake
Incumbent Rob Fleming (NDP) presumed to be running again
BC Liberal: ?
Green: ? (Or maybe Racelle Kooy here? Not sure where she lives)
NDP: Presumed to be Rob Fleming?

Victoria Watcher posted topic Sandstone development - south Nanaimo

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Sandstone development - south Nanaimo" in forum "Urban Design".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Vancouver company that owns the 726-acre Sandstone site at the south end of Nanaimo hopes for a public hearing this fall to present a revised vision.
"It is basically going to be a game-changer for south Nanaimo," Ian Porter, Seacliff Properties' director of development, said Wednesday.

Victoria Watcher posted topic 2020 Point In Time Homeless Count

lpoutine,

Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "2020 Point In Time Homeless Count" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
On the evening of March 11, 2020, 1,523 individuals were found to be homeless in the capital region compared to 1,525 on March 15, 2018. Due to year over year changes in methodology, these two numbers do not necessarily suggest trends in the region.

https://www.crd.bc.ca/about/news/article/2020/07/31/2020-greater-victoria-point-in-time-count-results-announced (https://www.crd.bc.ca/about/news/article/2020/07/31/2020-greater-victoria-point-in-time-count-results-announced)

The PiT count should be treated as an under-estimate. Some individuals value their privacy and prefer not to participate in the survey while others experiencing "hidden" homelessness are difficult to reach and, therefore, would not be included in this count.

The results of the 2020 PiT Count and survey will be used with ongoing shelter-use data, as well as information gathered through planning, for the creation of a Coordinated Assessment and Access service and Homelessness Management Information System which will improve service delivery, real-time reporting of homelessness levels and help achieve better outcomes for homeless individuals. An accompanying technical appendix was also developed by the CSPC and released with the key findings of the 2020 Greater Victoria Point-in-Time Homeless Study.

The requirements for physical distancing and isolation within the COVID-19 public health emergency measures contributed to a significant increase in the number of people sheltering out-of-doors in parks and along boulevards following the March 11 count and survey. A number of extreme weather shelters could not remain open beyond their planned March 31 closures and established shelters had to substantially reduce their nightly admissions due to the need to ensure individuals were provided with the ability to maintain an appropriate physical distance. As well, many people had to leave informal sheltering spaces ("couch surfing") with family and friends due to the need for physical distancing. Correction and health institutions were forced to discharge people into homelessness during the emergency because there were no new sheltering options available in the community as the pandemic deepened.

The closure and significant curtailment of outreach services during the pandemic also contributed to the congregation of large numbers of unsheltered people in areas where limited services remained available (Pandora Avenue) and in public spaces where emergency services were provided (Topaz Park).



most of the above is garbage.

the PIT count was March 11th. This news article is March 23:

https://www.vicnews.com/news/beacon-hill-topaz-royal-athletic-parks-to-open-as-temporary-sites-for-the-homeless/ (https://www.vicnews.com/news/beacon-hill-topaz-royal-athletic-parks-to-open-as-temporary-sites-for-the-homeless/)
Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps announced to the public on March 23 that all involved parties are working to ensure that none of the parks transform into tent cities, as have been seen near the BC Court House and in Saanich in previous years, ensuring that structures will be installed and staff will be on site to ensure proper social distancing and cleanliness.
In addition, BC Housing has purchased the property at 938 Mason St. and will temporarily use the site as a triage centre and COVID-19 test site for Victoria's homeless population.
Campers will be allowed in Topaz and Beacon Hill parks immediately, while the Royal Athletic Park is set to open as soon as possible, with the aim to be open by the end of the week.

from the count:

what does that have to do with the march 11th count? and secondly why have we never ever seen the numbers for the closures despite this line of crap fed to us continually?
