Is anyone compiling a list of how Ken Sim and his conservative #developerparty, ABC, have given massive ROI to millionaire and billionaire #VanRE developers in corporate welfare and harming Vancouver citizens?
I've sort of lost track of the many examples

ABC #DeveloperParty councillors & Mayor Ken refuse to protect renters in the West End #VanRE #DonorsFirst
“Tenant policies afforded to the Broadway Plan would have afforded West End residents the same protections,” Sean Orr on Pete Fry's motion ABC voted against

"Fleming Elementary School community does not want this development on their site," she told CBC News in September. "They made that really clear, and the VSB board has decided to proceed with it." Cheng said the 99-year lease has set a dangerous precedent, as the VSB is the second-largest land owner in Vancouver and could move to subdivide other schools' land for private development.
Vancouver School Board trustee Suzie Mah, who is with the COPE slate, is critical of a decision to issue a 99-year lease to a private developer — saying the $8.5 million paid by Vittori Developments is a 'drop in the bucket.' (CBC) "It's not best for the public, it's not best for children and it certainly is not best for education," Suzie Mah, a school board trustee from the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE) slate, said. "Because when you talk about $8.5 million, that's a drop in the bucket." Mah said the fact that the lease was issued up front, with no opportunity to review it, prevents the board from using the land in a way that would better benefit Vancouver's increasing school-aged population. She said the land, which currently houses a basketball court, was one of the few play areas in the community.
