Development permit board approved #105Keefer because of course they would. This city does not represent the people, only the rich.
Tragedy. Vancouver's Development Permit Board approved Beedie's #105Keefer.
But we'll keep fighting. The City of Vancouver *must* buy that site off local oligarch Beedie. Memorial Square is too important to the community. No luxury condo! #vanpoli

I'll be speaking at the 2nd night of hearings on #105Keefer (now renamed 570 Columbia, as if anyone is fooled).
Beedie's luxury condos are up before the Dev't Permit Board again. How many times will we have to fight this thing? It's a disaster for Chinatown. Enough! Social housing now. #vanpoli
Well said , thx for speaking #vanre #ItsSpeculationStupid #105Keefer “#570Columbia” #gentrification #ChinatowYVR #vanpoli
LAST CHANCE:
Sign up to speak against #105Keefer (now 570 Columbia) before 3pm today! 45 mins left.
You won't get the opportunity to speak if you don't sign up.
There are lots of speakers on the list, so you won't be speaking today - likely in early Nov. See link for what to say! #vanpoli
On top of the other reasons to defeat #105Keefer (now 570 Columbia), there is its hideousness. It looks like a nearby parkade or the new eyesore of St Paul's Hospital not far from this site. James Cheng can't be proud of designing this suburban carbuncle #vanpoli www.biv.com/news/economy...
I just wrote a pretty annoyed letter to City Hall about the latest reiteration of #105Keefer
You still have some time - please just write something short. Say you oppose. #vanpoli #VanRE
(don't swear/insult; it'll disqualify your letter)
Please note: Beedie has changed the address of #105Keefer (you can guess why) to 570 Columbia. But it's the same property.
PLEASE: Short notice, but we have til the end of today to email City Hall: Beedie is back trying to develop #105Keefer & it's even worse. (Govt should've bought this land, given the destruction it has already imposed on Chinatown) savechinatownyvr.substack.com/p/last-day-g... #vanpoli #bcpoli
The new #105Keefer is not simply a redesign – it is making significant changes with more units. This was NOT what was proposed in 2017 or approved in 2023. We can still fight this development!

Went to pick up an order from the Canucks store, so I decided to get some shopping done in Chinatown too – nice to see it really busy everywhere despite the rain earlier!
(Also saw a cement mixer operating behind the fenced in #105Keefer spot. 😡 Boooo!! Hissssssss!!!)
I actually think this graffiti may have preceded Musk's nazi salutes, so who knows what more is to come. Also, the developer is Beedie, the right-wing entity we fought on #105Keefer
