From free standardized designs to building code changes to allow single stairways (Why North America Can’t Build Nice Apartments) to fixing outdated zoning rules that pisses off the NIMBYs plus hundreds of other initiatives, Ravi Kahlon has been an amazing housing minister.

Who cares?
Not the investors. The share price is up again and that’s all that counts.
On CKNW in May, Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad said the province was “taking away the democratic right and the democratic vote” and that he would repeal the NDP’s housing reforms if elected.
BC is going to look very, very different in five years depending on who wins the next election.
They love trolling
Until we get a decent automod, I’m not interested in fighting off even more trolls.
Activists say the state is building a China-style internet firewall as it looks to exert further control over the online space.
I was thinking it was Pluto looking for a loophole.

The British Columbia government has filed a class-action lawsuit against manufacturers of so-called “forever chemicals” it says are involved in the widespread contamination of drinking water systems.
Attorney General Niki Sharma says the province is the first Canadian jurisdiction to sue makers of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl, known as PFAS chemicals.
B.C. has filed similar class-action lawsuits in the past, targeting tobacco manufacturers in 1998 and opioid makers in 2018 to recover health-care costs associated with those substances.

Battle brewing over Saanich landowner’s removal of trees for farm
"For the past several months, Saanich staff have been working with a property owner on Meadowbrook Ridge to facilitate appropriate blasting, tree, and deposit-of-fill permits. On August 30, 2019, staff determined that the owner had proceeded with significant activities without the required permits.
We are taking these bylaw contraventions seriously and as such have conducted numerous inspections of the property and issued stop work orders to the property owner. Construction activities have continued in spite of this. Saanich is currently evaluating its legal options, and intends to take legal action to deal with the unpermitted activities on the property."
