Thanks for this, @yesinnewwest.bsky.social. I found the #NewWest & #BCHousing area experts really helpful, & they addressed much of the misinfo that's (still) circulating on social media. I was also impressed that the way the event was designed made for a low-key, low-conflict vibe. #HousingForAll

Update #2: I received a pretty clear & constructive email from #BCHousing re the nature of these meetings. It redoubles my sense that encouraging people to crash tonight's event is a pretty irresponsible stunt. Here I'm sharing the letter I received and my feedback to #NWP.
