But they’ll throw 30 story towers up on the Greater #DTES (Gastown) to raise rents

Despite neighbourhood complaints that it will further increase homelessness in the city

But “decreasing my property values” weighs more than “increasing homelessness”

Even though they are two sides of the same literal coin 💰

The DTES ‘problem’ is not a housing problem, SRO employee says
Global News requested an interview with Larry Campbell, who is more than halfway through his six-month $92,000 contract, but we have yet to receive a response from Eby’s office.

There was a small sculpture shaped like a foot 🦶🏽 hanging near that Rooms sign until a few years ago. Can’t see if it’s in that earlier photo

It might take some searching for me to find a pic of that

People will starve in the #DTES when Sunrise closes

With London Drug closing too and the #ChinaTown post office it’s a social cleansing of the neighbourhood

All as they build the towers that investors demand

The towers will increase the homelessness that #Vancouver businesses complain about by making housing more expensive
