Listening to @michaelgeller.bsky.social giving his take on vancouver’s planning history

Now former dirs. of planning Larry Beasley and Anne Mcafee speaking.

We’re getting a mix of nostalgia with LB saying (unironically) that “20 year old ideas don’t work, we need new ideas”. To be fair, the ideas and concerns they are raising are all valid and worthwhile but they have the same blind spots (specifically they want to limit change to single detached)

Anne asks “how are we going to pay for things if not for development fees” Uh Sorry that’s a disturbingly myopic view.
