Instead of housing the homeless people whose tents they’re destroying, the #ABCCityCouncil just voted to evict up to 2000 more people a year in their developer-giveaway version of the #BroadwayPlan (just in the Broadway corridor)

Because 3000 homeless in #Vancouver wasn’t enough

@Timdmackey
And the #VancouverABC council just voted this week for the #BroadwayPlan to evict 2000 people per year

The party elected to be hard on the homeless starts off by making more people homeless

They just voted to evict 2000 people a year in the #BroadwayPlan

And they will also evict you from your tent on Hastings

The #VancouverCityCouncil is consistent

@sunnydeveloper
And last week as part of the #BroadwayPlan the #VancouverCityCouncil voted to approve an eviction rate of up to 2,000 tenants per year along Broadway to make way for new development

It will be a nightmare for current residents

Many will have to leave #Vancouver
