The Squamish Nation is expanding the scope of their proposed project at the Kits side of Burrard Bridgequote:Squamish Nation’s planned development on reserve land in Vancouver doubles in size, includes 11 towers Honestly interested to see the renders of this thing to see how on earth they're gonna fit 11 towers on this tiny sliver of land. It'll be real interesting to see what it looks like since they're able to ignore whatever the normal City of Vancouver rules are. Some yimbys on twitter so excited to see [big number] unit development that they're like, woke yimby pro-feudalism. Uhh ok sure guys. It's ok to be excited. https://twitter.com/CitizenYan/status/1191758052996730880?s=20 https://twitter.com/amoralorealis/status/1191739643370229761?s=20 Femtosecond fucked around with this message at 03:38 on Nov 6, 2019 |

Seems like a decent idea, let's see how it gets hosed into development hell.

Given the attitude of a lot of Kits owners to any form of densification there is an almost limitless amount of schadenfreude that could come from this. I'm guessing it being a first nations development allows them to ignore VIEW CONES as well ?

I prefer 99 year leases just for the irony of non-natives losing their home and/or selling it for almost nothing. This is already happening on the 1980s built townhouses on reserve land on False Creek.

I'm guessing it being a first nations development allows them to ignore VIEW CONES as well ? Yeah they don't have to care about view cones, though there's no view cones over this site or really any notable view of anything anyway to begin with. Since the development doesn't have to correspond to any City of Vancouver rules, that also explains why only 10% of the units will have parking, and why it's not a typical "tower and podium" style Vancouver development. No parking minimums and no need to heed any design input from city staff. YIMBYs on twitter today seem most excited about the low parking rules, though honestly I feel there's a bit of green washing (urbanism-washing?) going on here. What we're really seeing here is an example of what developers would build if they had no rules imposed on them, which is to utterly maximize profits. This means declining to build expensive parking, and opting for bigger, thicker buildings, which increases the amount of units while having negative impacts on light and views. The area is actually pretty poorly served by public transit, so by building a near zero parking development as if there was a Skytrain next door, this is going to force Translink to suddenly have to significantly invest in new transit services to support the ~12k people that will eventually live on this tiny slice of land. Of course the property taxes from this development will go to the Squamish Nation with no share to Translink so yeah great deal for the Squamish here. It's totally reasonable that the Squamish Nation should do the things they're doing with this development in order to maximize their revenue, especially given how they were screwed out of their larger Kits reservation lands (seriously we should give those back?) but come on, the Squamish isn't declining to build parking because they like bicycles.

I dunno about the public transit thing. It's literally under the Burrard bridge, so walking distance to downtown. It's also about 7 blocks or so from where the Broadway line will go.

Lobok posted:Make what happen? Public transit? Yeah. Or to be more precise a LRT line to the site of the project. It's a mega project with unprecedented density in an area with ok but not awesome transit and the project includes little to no parking. I don't know maybe I'm way off base with this, but it seems like a kinda lovely move to your potential residents that you're hoping to have high quality public transit suddenly appear, but you're not actually gonna lift a finger to make it happen otherwise. Maybe the Squamish Nation is thinking about these things and would be a big part of lobbying other governments for the money to build a new LRT line and would I dunno, pay to build a station on their lands or contribute in some other way, but from the wording in these tweets alone doesn't seem so. Lead out in cuffs posted:Yeah asking First Nations to provide infrastructure on the parts of their occupied territories that they currently have no control over and are extracting no value from (because they are entirely in settler hands) is kinda lovely. Huhh? The Squamish are gonna make a poo poo ton of money on this project. Adding an LRT stop on their lands would significantly increase the value of their land and the appeal to renters. If this were a normal developer there would be community amenity contributions and other fees that could contribute to this sort of public transit improvement, but this isn't the case with this Squamish reserve land. So there's a clear need to improve public transit, but no big development fee windfall to help from this 11 tower unit mega project. In a situation where there's limited funds for public transit, how is the City of Vancouver going to get this LRT built if the North Shore, Port Coquitlam and Surrey are all in line too fighting for their piece of the pie. This sort of situation is where I see the Squamish Nation stepping up and being a bigger partner if they really to get ahead of the line and get an LRT connection. Maybe they should contribute some funds to Translink? I don't know. In the context of reconciliation I think returning urban lands back to First Nations is clearly good and important as is respecting their rights to develop it, though beyond that, how should we figure out what random, unbounded amount of free stuff (ie. LRT station) urban First Nations get? I'm not really sure how to approach the concept and where to draw the line here. What makes more sense to me is that cities become really pro-active in looking for opportunities to return land to urban First Nations that those cities sit on*, and First Nations that are developing their urban lands should be looking ways in which it makes sense for them to contribute in some way to improving the city to ensure that the people living on or adjacent to their lands have high quality amenities just like every where else in the city. If they decline to this then I could imagine the possibility of pockets of First Nations development in a city, but which have weird amenity black holes. * (eg. Vancouver should look into how to return the entire Vanier Park lands that were stolen from the Squamish) Femtosecond fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Nov 8, 2019 |
