La La Land Forever

Tearing down a marine design facility at UBC to build more condos and townhouses may or may not be a reasonable thing to do. I don't have enough details to make a truly informed opinion.

BUT...

This certainly stays true to a woeful agenda we have been pursuing in Vancouver for far too many years now.

We have abandoned our true foundations and stability. We have forgotten that we are a port. And we have based our new economies on condos and lattes.

The results are disastrous - massive and disturbing homelessness in the downtown core of both Victoria and Vancouver, few head offices, less venture capital, less office space, MacJobs by the score (Get your PhD, become a barrista!) and an illusory wealth, promoted by the middle-class sillies of the media.

Everyone is smiling, everyone is decked out, everyone is having a grand time.

Except for the thousands who aren't.
