People are mistaken about @vote4team being anti-density. TEAM just wants the public fully involved. #VanPoli, vote for @wahgee88!

Strong article on massive upzoning to 100s of blocks of Rupert and Renfrew neighbourhoods. @CityofVancouver councillors approved this unanimously in January, with hardly anyone noticing. 8-storey buildings now called "lowrise." 1/2 #vanre #vanpoli cityhallwatch.wordpress.com/… via @CityHallWchVAN

This is true. Pete Fry will cont to bring down Vancouver, he too likes massive development but a city is way more than towers & mega mansions. Time for TEAM bc we need to build on our history, not just wipe it out.
TEAM for a Livable Vancouver (@vote4team) profile pictureTEAM for a Livable Vancouver@vote4teamOct 13
Pete Fry is not the candidate you think he is. He voted with Ken Sim and his ABC majority 83% of the time. Are you looking for real change at City Hall? You’re not going to find it with the Green Party. Vote TEAM for real change.

Hardwick spoke about this, ppl need to get out to talks when candidates host them. She has had meetings in almost every hood ( perhaps all). The one I attended was abt size, lack of parking, ugliness of new builds & why locals r leaving.
