This is ABC. Push staff to meet a deadline they impose, throw them under the bus when the plan comes under scrutiny, and then blame staff to their big money backers. We must do better.

ABC Vancouver told reporters that the Villages plan was “disrespectful”, that city staff went too far, and that they were protecting residents from the sins of bureaucracy. But who told city staff to come up with a transformative plan? Here’s the receipts.

Just in case you guys thought he would be a good president. There's a long list of reasons why that isn't the case, but this is a good example.

Looks like Gavin Newsom is going to bat for California Forever, the Network State "tech utopia" project backed by Marc Andreessen and other tech billionaires. 70% of local residents oppose it. But the billionaires hired Newsom's favorite lobbyist. Welcome to Sacramento. nypost.com/2026/07/29/u...

The bad faith of the anti-trans sports lobby is so transparent that it can be dismantled instantly by asking them about Title IX funding disparities for women's sports. 99% of them readily admit they don't care, the remaining 1% say they care but don't think anything should be done about it.

Redevelopment and renovations makes up about 10% of evictions. Owner use is around 60%. That doesn't mean that it isn't important to have protections for tenants due to redevelopment, but they're much more likely to be evicted due to other reasons

Proving once again that municipal government is fundamentally the wrong level for big reforms to make housing abundant. Not to say that local govt doesn’t matter, it matters a lot, but foundational change can only hold at provincial level or above www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This pattern of politicians running against their own bureaucracies as champions of the people was tagged as "the dysfunctional dance of local governance" by Mariana Valverde when she saw it in Toronto in EVERYDAY LAW ON THE STREETS from 2012. Its biggest beneficiary? Rob Ford.

A funny thing about Vancouver's Villages rejection happening so close to the election is Ken Sim's office posting a statement being like "we listen to the wisdom of the people" and ABC Vancouver sending supporters an email being like "we're protecting you from city bureaucrats who are garbage"
