Douglas Todd: Vancouver’s Kitsilano residents dread 28 'disrespectful' new towers The Broadway plan imposes “forced-fed generic zoning” on unique neighbourhoods, including historic, beachside Kitsilano, says architect.

My friend (a single mom), her two teens, and their two indoor-only cats have lived in this townhouse complex at West 3rd/Vine Street for 10+ years, and are losing their home soon, thanks to the #BroadwayPlan and redevelopment in the #Kitsilano area of #Vancouver😞

I lived at 7th/Yew 2002-2016.

Someone associating themselves with the University ofToronto Department of Geography and Planning has put up posters in #Vancouver Fairview seeking area residents to fill out a survey regarding the #BroadwayPlan and it's tenant protections.

Municipalities Must Monitor (And Tweak) Their Tenant Protection Policies Vancouver and Burnaby city halls have created two of the most rigorous tenant protection policies in North America. Tenant relocation and protection policies are aimed at curbing displacement as incre...

#Vancouver's #BroadwayPlan assistance to demovicted tenants is based on #BurnabyBC program. But unlike Burnaby, Vancouver does not require bonding to insure financial obligations to tenants can be met if developers experience solvency issues, as has already happened in Burnaby.

Vancouver residents hate their homes but love their ‘hoods Data shows that residents lean unto community amenities as housing units increase in price and decease in size, something the City of Vancouver’s Broadway Plan doesn’t account for

Warm-looking #sunrise seen on an otherwise chill morning thru #BroadwayPlan gap in the 1400 block of #Vancouver's West Broadway Avenue.

Sunrise seen from West Broadway Avenue between two towers.

In a few short years #Vancouver's #BroadwayPlan will block this view with highrise towers and take away the free pleasure of seeing the sunrise, effectively paywalling it. 😢

'Sea change:' Vancouver city council rezones thousands of properties in Broadway and Cambie corridors Vancouver's sweeping rezoning of more than 4,200 properties aims to shorten the development process by a year or more.

Tuesday #Vancouver City Council approved mass rezoning of 4,292 parcels of land in #BroadwayPlan area. Unclear if Broadway Plan developments awaiting rezoning to CD-1 have now been rezoned to the mass-rezoning's new tower zoning: "R5-high-rise". Clarity from @cityofvancouver.bsky.social appreciated.

Opinion: Why I'm against Vancouver's proposed mass rezoning plan | Urbanized This shouldn’t come at the cost of destroying existing affordable housing, thereby placing the burden of solving housing on tenants.

"City councillors seemed alarmed when a tenant pointed out … proposed 155-unit tower’s mandated 20 per cent below-market units equaled exactly 30 units: the same number we already had in our old buildings. The tower was adding net zero affordable housing to our community." #Vancouver #BroadwayPlan

The Slow Emergency - Spacing Vancouver The crisis in Vancouver’s housing system isn’t explosive—it’s quiet, procedural, and often disguised as progress. Recently made public, the Broadway Plan’s first-quarter update for 2025 reads like ano...

#BroadwayPlan is functioning more as an entitlement generator than a vehicle for actual housing. This dynamic invites speculation, inflates property values, and offers no guarantee of new-let alone affordable-homes. spacing.ca/vancouver/20... #vanre #ItsSpeculationStupid #MOAR #vanpoli

Elder friends in their #Vancouver Kitsilano building awaiting #BroadwayPlan rezoning say that the rezoning application sign in front of a building across street has come down.

Why, they ask, can't that building be built before they're renovicted? Then they could just move across the street! 🤔

This Mutual Agreement to End Tenancy isn't compatible with moving back to new #Vancouver #BroadwayPlan building. It is compatible with the one-time lump sum payment.

Wort noting that Tenants who choose to return will get financial & logistical assistance for moving out but not for moving back in.

Vancouver moves to prezone areas to speed development Housing advocates have criticized the move, saying it reduces public engagement and transparency

Subscribers: "The #BroadwayPlan originally had a target to build 30,000 homes in the area over a 30-year span. That was increased to 41,500 units in mid-December, representing housing for an additional 64,000 people" www.theglobeandmail.com/real-estate/... #vanre #MOAR #ItsSpeculationStupid #vanpoli

Vancouver's hopeless. OneCity's Maloney is a bike lobbyist who parrots yimby housing supplyist talking points, like Boyle did. Boyle rubber stamped #BroadwayPlan & every other gentrification/demoviction project, as will Maloney. (Chart by J. McElroy, w/ markup) #FAIL #vanpoli

Though it was limited to avoid shadowing Robson Park, this proposal has grown from a 2020 mid-rise concept to include 286 market rental, 41 below-market rental homes, & a 20 space daycare. That’s thanks to the #BroadwayPlan, & adding in a couple adjacent lots. #Vancouver #VanRE

Thanks to recent updates to the #BroadwayPlan a proposed 10 floor office tower at Cambie & W 7th Ave has been scrapped in favour of a new zero-displacement 33 storey building with 170 market, & 42 below-market rental homes, atop 4 floors of office space. #VanRe #VanCre #Vancouver

Is Vancouver's Broadway Plan headed towards disaster? The early results for Vancouver’s Broadway Plan have some residents deeply concerned about the plan and its future.

The #Broadwayplan is a scam to remove the affordable housing from the city and replace it all with luxury high rises so developers and owners make money. - gentrification is inevitable but the way this is being engineered and pushed by the city is despicable! #vanpoli m.youtube.com/watch?v=1WKj...

"Havn Development obtained a rezoning permit...a proposal to build a 170-unit rental tower with podium at 2156-2172 W. 14th Ave...has two other rezonings within the #BroadwayPlan area...but...has no track record of previous developments...some wonder if they are planning to flip the property."

Critics allege blockbusting tactics in Broadway redevelopment plan Thousands of renters in the Broadway Plan are being displaced by proposed redevelopment of their older buildings, while homeowners are planning to leave for their own reasons

Why does CoV allow those w/ zero track record to propose & *build* tower developments? #ItsSpeculationStupid

Veteran Vancouver councillor resigns, says she’s ‘lost trust and confidence’ in mayor - BC | Globalnews.ca After 14 years and four terms, Green Coun. Adriane Carr officially tendered her resignation on Wednesday.

I thank Green Party Councillor Adriane Carr for her public service. But I would be more fulsome in my praise had she not voted for the disastrous #BroadwayPlan that displaces renters in low-rise affordable housing for towers! globalnews.ca/news/1096058... #vanpoli #bcpoli

While too small for a trolley line, this site’s proximity to #GranvilleIsland may make it the perfect location for this proposed #MassTimber hotel. At 18 floors, it also offers a mix of office, & light industrial space as envisioned by the #BroadwayPlan. #VanRe #VanCre #Vancouver
