I didn't get a chance to watch the debate last night, and as serious as the US election might be, the "THEY'RE EATING THE DOGS" trending twitter thread is damn funny

Look at Mount Pleasant "missing middle" housing, gone with a 4 tower proposal.We are gutting neighbourhoods, & designer @stevebohus prepared painstaking 3D renderings showing what is being lost-why? Because City Hall won't release it! Told by @DouglasTodd

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

This is an absolute travesty that the current mayor and city Council thinks it’s OK to dismiss the current view protection policy without any public consultation. Here they are privatizing views for rich people,giving big economic lifts to developer friends. Rally against this!
No public consultation this time. Un-protecting views to benefit certain landowners/developers goes straight to Council vote.
Back in January, staff said they were developing a public engagement strategy for the views review. What happened?

Vancouver is one of few cities in world maintaining public policy to keep scenic mountains & ocean views as a public amenity.But Vancouver's ABC majority of Council nixing that with no public consultation,privatizing views for downtown developers' profit.

We're learning how to wrap wontons with a #ChinatownYVR auntie on Fri Jul 5 to fulfill her long-time dream of opening a wonton & karaoke shop.
At Chinatown Together, we don't just host public space activation events, we also help incubate new culturally-appropriate biz! #vanpoli

Even Vancouver Sun gets it wrong-scrapping "decades old" protected views won't provide "much needed housing, job & hotel space". Eradicating views means expensive new condos privatize public asset, developers get "free"view storeys! vancouversun.com/news/vancou… via @VancouverSun

If half of Americans don’t have the right to determine what happens to their own bodies, then there is no “liberty and justice” for all. Those words we teach our children in school have no meaning. There is no democracy without bodily autonomy.
