In the early 00s when I was a baby gay one of the most validating things for me was being stoned as hell at like 2am and watching an episode of her show where people who are in debt have to learn how to budget and there was a gay couple on there and they were just a couple of dorks living in a basement spending way too much money on video games and anime, and that's when I realized that gay people can be anybody we want to be

Vancouver mayor announces plan to remove city's independent park board

Aaron Jasper, who served on the park board as a commissioner and chair from 2008 to 2014 says he's concerned that Sim and council want to wrest power from the independent body and ultimately seek to develop some of the green space, such as the city's golf courses, which it's responsible for.

"My worst fear � is a potential land grab," said Jasper. "No board that has ever been in power would ever allow green space, park space to be carved off for any other purpose, housing or anything, and my concern is that mayor and council are eyeing some of those green assets."

Hubbert has issued a correction as of 21:30 on Dec 13, 2023

B.C. couple faces $600-a-month rent hike when their baby becomes new �occupant'

A Vancouver woman who is eight months pregnant says her landlord is threatening to raise the rent once her child has been born.

Joy Maynard and Antoine Moore are expecting their first child any day and have been living in their Vancouver basement suite since April 2021.

They told their landlord earlier in the summer about the pregnancy and Maynard said he informed them that his son is the owner of the house so they need to be talking to his son about these matters.

That�s when they said they were informed that any additional occupant would cost them $600 a month.

�We also told them that my mom is coming to visit. The son said that my mom is going to be considered an occupant,� Maynard said.

�So any rules that they have pertaining to occupants applies to my mom and as well to the baby. So there was a set amount in our release that spoke about new occupants and it was $600 per person. We were hoping $600 for a baby would have seemed ridiculous to everybody, but they were like, �No, this is what it says in your lease. It�ll be that for the baby regardless. So there would be a stiff increase in your rent�.�

B.C.�s Housing Minister, Ravi Kahlon, told Global News Monday that this couple�s landlord should �give himself a head shake� but he is in a legal position to do this.

Group questions why City of Calgary is selling parkland near Glenmore Landing
City declared land to be surplus near SW shopping area as major redevelopment planned
Scott Dippel � CBC News � Posted: Oct 11, 2023 4:00 AM PDT | Last Updated: October 11

This park space at Glenmore Landing could one day be the site of some of the new buildings being planned. (Mike Symington/CBC News)

A group in southwest Calgary is raising questions about why the City of Calgary wants to sell land that it designated as park space four decades ago.

The city recently advertised its intention to dispose of the land on two sides of Glenmore Landing.

The city acquired the land in the 1980s and, at the time, signed an agreement with the then owner of the 10-acre shopping area, who agreed to maintain the city's land.

Several years ago, the city declared the 5.5 acres of land on the south and east sides of the shopping area to be surplus.

In 2015, city council voted to explore disposing of the land with the owner of Glenmore Landing, RioCan. Now, the company is planning a major redevelopment of the site.

RioCan envisions a major transit oriented development project at that location which would ultimately include several residential highrises as well as more commercial and mixed-use spaces.

A group calling itself Communities for Glenmore Landing Preservation said the city's 1983 agreement with the former owner of the site stipulated the land would only be used as park space.

"The city undertakes to utilize the parklands only for park purposes and for the purpose of roads, sidewalks, paths, street lamps, signs, traffic control devices, bus shelters with commercial signs, and underground utilities," reads the agreement on the land title.

A member of the group, Karen Pauling Shepard, said the city's original deal included maintaining the park space around Glenmore Landing to allow it to blend in with nearby areas, including the Glenmore Reservoir, and several city parks.

"We are opposing the land-use amendment change to sell the parklands, dedicated in perpetuity, because it will vastly change the character of the shopping centre in concert with the surrounding communities," said Pauling Shepard.

She wondered how the city could decide to turn the park space over for development.

"That is a question we have asked and we don't have an answer to it. How can parkland all of a sudden become surplus?

RioCan has a multi-stage plan for the redevelopment of Glenmore Landing at the corner of 14th Street and 90th Avenue SW (Submitted by RioCan)

The area's city councillor, Kourtney Penner, said the land was retained 40 years ago as greenspace because the city was unsure of the potential for future road development around the site.

At one time, an interchange at the corner of 14th Street and 90th Avenue S.W. was contemplated, but ultimately, it was not built.

Once the city decided to proceed with a bus rapid transitway station near the busy corner, Penner said the land was deemed no longer necessary to retain in city possession.

Instead, the city feels giving up the land allows it to meet other municipal needs, including greater density and transit- oriented development.

In that regard, selling the land is hardly unique, said Penner.

"We have a lot of sites like this across the whole city, where we kept land for future interchanges and now we're reviewing that and if we still need to hold on to that land," said Penner.

She said once the city reaches an agreement with RioCan to transfer the land, city council will have the final say on the deal.

The areas outlined in red are city-owned lands that have been declared surplus for a possible sale to RioCan. (Submitted by the City of Calgary)

RioCan has applied for a land-use change for its redevelopment plans. It intends to hold an open house session on Oct. 25 at Heritage Park to gather public input on its proposal.

Its application will ultimately go to the Calgary Planning Commission for a vote and then to city council, where a public hearing will be held, likely next year.

Pauling Shepard said her group has a number of concerns about RioCan's proposal.

She said it will increase traffic on nearby roads. "How are they going to accommodate 3,000 people in a small shopping centre with two points of ingress and egress?"

Pauling Shepard said the group isn't opposed to increased density at the site. Rather, its members want to know how so much growth will be managed.

"What we are opposed to is density in a compact area like Glenmore Landing where the downstream effects of a large development are going to be very, very hard, in regards to safety, traffic and changing the character of the Glenmore Reservoir and the parklands," she said.

That is the shittiest parkland strip I've seen, that area and the location of it is giving me "preserve the parking lot" vibes.

I agree Parkland should be hoarded since once it's gone it never comes back but that is a terrible place to hoard for the future.

My at minimum is they need to build a transit hub there, and not just houses.
