Any building in the West End should be allowed to be built by right in Shaughnessy. If it’s good enough for the best neighbourhood in Canada, it’s good enough for Shaughnessy!
In Vancouver, on the front line of Canada's housing crisis, one exclusive, expensive neighbourhood is protected by municipal land-use policy: Shaughnessy.
@christineeboyle has tabled a motion to unlock Shaughnessy, and add badly-needed housing.

The economically devastated Rust Belt resident asked God, “I had faith in you, but you didn’t save us. You let our town die. Why?”
To this God replied, “I sent you three data-center proposals. What more did you expect?”
This is the main street of Monroeville in Huron County, Ohio. The town voted against building a $1 billion data center nearby.
Let’s just be honest here, does this town look like it’s doing well enough to reject a $1 billion opportunity for economic development?
How are you supposed to fix cost of living when people vote against $1 billion opportunities for jobs and economic development?
NIMBYism is killing the West. The same people who hate data centres hate nuclear energy and hate new factories for manufacturing and reindustrialisation.
Literally what are you supposed to do? People want 5% GDP growth a year with 0 inflation and then you try to give them new industry and they reject it.
Foreign backed information war on the American people has done massive damage to America. People voted against their own jobs and their own economic development because they watched a TikTok saying Donald Trump and Epstein ate Jon Benet Ramsay inside a data center or something.

If democracy is going to survive, we need to find a way to make it possible to build physical structures again. Because if you let the public have a say, they will say "no" repeatedly until we all live in caves.

Important folks know the backstory of this ad. My twin brother, Andrew Robert Colom, @andrewcolom, wrote, directed, and produced this ad, and starred alongside me in it. (He's not AI). 😂
Kayland Partee (@KaylandPartee) did the cinematographer and helped with a lot of my great content. These 2 are another example of the awesome talent from and in the Sip!

"Trans kids just want to play soccer with their friends" might be a true description of how actual trans kids feel, but it doesn't ring true to parents who have kids in expensive privatized leagues and are stewing in this mindset of cutthroat competition.

I've thought about this a lot and I'm starting to realize that the entire political spectrum misread the sports stuff from 2018 onward. Most Americans haven't gone insane about trans people. They've gone insane about youth sports.

Her losing to a highly-qualified Black man whose court appointment she blocked because he was pro-trans is genuine Lib wishcasting
If you put this in a TV show or wiki box people would call it too corny and unrealistic
