lpoutine,
Light-Keeper has just posted a new topic entitled "Centennial Square Revitalization" in forum "Urban Issues".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Downtown Victoria Business Association will be leaving it's office space at #20 Centennial Square and relocating to #200 764 Yates Street at the end of October.
The City of Victoria wants the space for Bylaw Enforcement offices. More blanked out windows along the Centennial Square Arcade. Row after row. Uninviting and repellant.
How will this help the revitalization of Centennial Square? The 2018 Centennial Square Action Plan urges the City to return the arcade spaces below the parking lot to commercial use. The City is in the process of expending a further $750,000 for the revitalization design and planning process but won't take the advice they previously paid for.
Back when the retail sale of cannabis was first approved, the City would not allow retailers to blank out their storefronts. They had to show something of interest to the passerby. But the City seems to do this with impunity!.

Victoria Watcher posted topic Apple TV
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "Apple TV" in forum "Online Media".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Times, quoting an insider, said that the former host of "The Daily Show (https://www.salon.com/topic/the_daily_show)" told his staff that Apple's executives were particularly concerned about the show taking on China and artificial intelligence (https://www.salon.com/2023/09/23/are-we-witnessing-the-of-the-writer-facing-the-ai-crossroads-in-class-and-on-the-page/).
Stewart and his staff also predicted they'd face more pushback as the 2024 presidential campaign season accelerated, another source said.
_________________
China is Apple's third largest consumer market after Europe and the Americas. Those concerns were always going to be on a collision course with Stewart's application of inquisitive skepticism to, say, the problematic repressive policies of a certain Asian superpower.
"The Problem with Jon Stewart" could have chosen to ignore China, but for how long? That nation owns nearly $860 billion of the United States' debt (https://usafacts.org/articles/which-countries-own-the-most-us-debt/). It's a major trade and manufacturing partner and influences our politics to a significant degree. Most of the newest iPhones are made there.

Citified.ca posted topic [Fernwood] 2540-2542 Shelbourne Street | Townhomes
lpoutine,
Citified.ca has just posted a new topic entitled "[Fernwood] 2540-2542 Shelbourne Street | Townhomes" in forum "City of Victoria".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Citified profile: https://victoria.citified.ca/townhomes-subdivisions/2540-2542-shelbourne-street/ (https://victoria.citified.ca/townhomes-subdivisions/2540-2542-shelbourne-street/)
Frame Properties is hopeful council will review its 15-unit townhome proposal for 2540-2542 Shelbourne Street in the not too distant future, after a lengthy municipal planning process. I had a chance to chat with the developer recently, and we spoke of how their application process has gone over the years, and how things are changing with the new council. Frame issued a statement in response to several questions that were posed, and it's clear that the updates to MMHI are what should have been in the initial roll-out.
