#kitsilano — Public Fediverse posts

Top tier of my jubako has veggie tempura and then two little potato or yam croquettes? Second is aburi nigiri and oshi, bottom is a salad and a dynamite roll and California roll. Better picture of the glorious mango avocado salad.

The Khatsalano Street Party was packed with music and food and people. I got carried along with the crowd. #yvr #vancouver #kitsilano

Had an amazing meal at Yuji’s, with a number of dishes I haven’t seen elsewhere in Vancouver. - Sat at the bar with @rachaelashe.com, I had a draft Asahi - Baked Eggplant with mozzarella - Takenoko Dengaru - grilled bamboo shoots - Chawanmushi - steamed egg custard

hey #vancouver, especially #kitsilano residents, did you know about Sen̓áḵw existed in kits, and how they were displaced/cleansed?

Newspapers called it “exceedingly valuable property” while decrying it as a centre for crime and a “moral infection.” Its location, surrounded by the growing metropolis, made it a target of “settler attention, fear and desire,” writes Slobodian.

#BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.

The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.

The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.

The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.

#BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.

"Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.

The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.

According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.

Pulpfiction Books http://pulpfictionbooksvancouver.com/ has a great thread talking about their business & why they are closing their #Kitsilano location in #Vancouver. What a great line about retail:

"When we opened Kits, 21 years ago, I think there was still a case to be made for a business model I’ll call “a person sitting in a room full of interesting things.”

The Kits Showboat is a complete loss and will be demolished at the end of the swim season

This makes me so upset. Another historic #Vancouver landmark damaged by fire 😠

#Kitsilano Showboat amphitheatre is operated by a non-profit. So many local artists and entertainers used this venue over the years. For generations in fact.

I hope it survives!

@RobHadley @saddestrobots
I’ve been saying lately, if they took those same #Vancouver cops, and went to the wealthy neighborhoods in #Kitsilano and threw those people’s possessions into the street. I bet we would see solutions to the #homeless problem emerge pretty quickly

KITSILANO: Burrard & W 4th Avenue. Full of shops and restaurants, 4th has the potential to be one of the best streets in the city, but we allow it to be a car sewer, and a dangerous one at that: this intersection alone saw 401 crashes in the past 5 years - nearly 7 a month.
