Vancouver votes against more housing density in Shaughnessy neighbourhood: Boyle argues neighbourhood is centrally located and doesn’t have much rental stock or affordable housing

their answers mostly hovered around it being “divisive.” if you’re wondering what the fuck that means in the context of more housing for people, I’m right there with you.

they also said the provincial regulations will take care of this. That’s literally not true because of Shaugnessy’s exclusive zoning status.

in short, they don’t have a coherent argument against Boyle’s motion outside of pettiness.

In a statement, ABC Vancouver councillor Rebecca Bligh said the motion would have "wasted precious staff time" and called the motion redundant, given motions recently passed by the city and province to add more housing.

Don't worry, they've already solved the housing crisis!
