This submission to Vancouver City Council argues that affordable housing must be a central plank of "EcoDensity" on both equity and environmental grounds. The authors question the central premise of EcoDensity that increasing density is tantamount to greater affordability, and call for an EcoDensity Charter that fully articulates a strategy that will ensure an expansion of affordable housing. Without a deliberate, city-wide policy to ensure affordability, existing trends will worsen, leading to adverse impacts on livability and sustainability.
The CCPA Monitor is the only place I know that one can go to for accurate and honest reporting on the state of the world. I would hate like hell to ever be without The CCPA Monitor; it would be like losing my sight and my hearing. I heartily recommend it to anybody who gives a damn about the condition of the world.
