Mike K. posted topic David Eby’s housing plan for British Columbia - thoughts and discussion

lpoutine,

Mike K. has just posted a new topic entitled "David Eby's housing plan for British Columbia - thoughts and discussion" in forum "Urban Issues".

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a primer for David Eby's housing plan for BC: https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/b-c-ndp-leadership-race-ebys-housing-policy-includes-flipping-tax-legalized-secondary-suites-and-increased-density (https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/b-c-ndp-leadership-race-ebys-housing-policy-includes-flipping-tax-legalized-secondary-suites-and-increased-density)

Key points to consider:

- density targets for each municipality, which if not met, would allow the province to override municipal "nimybism"
- legalized duplexes province-wide
- three-plexes permitted in urban centres where single-family zoning is in place (presumably duplex zoning, too)
- "flipping tax" that decreases through 2 years post-possession
- right of first refusal for non-profits to buy rental complexes before REITs have access
- $500 million towards tenant anti-displacement efforts, to prevent or address renovictions

Tofino resort co-owned by former NHL star cancels fishing derby after 'highly inappropriate behaviour at event

https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/tofino-resort-co-owned-by-former-nhl-star-cancels-fishing-derby-after-highly-inappropriate-behaviour-at-event-1.6068602 (https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/tofino-resort-co-owned-by-former-nhl-star-cancels-fishing-derby-after-highly-inappropriate-behaviour-at-event-1.6068602)

In a brief statement published on the tournament website, the resort says it is continuing "to take steps to ensure the absolute safety and well-being of our team."
"We were extremely upset to hear about highly inappropriate behaviour connected to one of our annual events," the resort said. "Our first concern is for our staff, and we are responding to the needs of those affected."

Rumours on Reddit/Twitter imply all of the restaurant staff walked out due to sexual misconduct towards one or more of their co-workers.
