This should be a #VanPoli election issue in 2026.
Vancouver Mayor Sim & ABC Party cut core services and staff. Yet...
🏢 Their Real Estate & Facilities Management dept. "routinely instructed appraisers to value city land based on the previous zoning and to ignore the new rezoning" and “may have understated value by 20-40%” for min. 3 properties.
🤑 "Basing sale prices on previous zoning means that the purchaser-developer -- not the city -- collects the value of the land lift, which is often many millions of dollars."

2026 is a municipal election year for City of Vancouver. This is an additional bad look for Mayor Sim and the majority ABC Party:
The Office of the Auditor General reported:
"out of the 16 transactions 14 were initiated by potential buyers or developers and not the city"...
"Vancouver has largely been reacting to offers and not “proactively” using its land portfolio to advance priorities like affordable housing."

🚨 Mayor Sim & ABC Party strikes again, disdain for Vancouverites. Profit over people of #Vancouver
@lidsville posted on 🦋 @lidsville.bsky.social:
"So, last night [Dec 11, 2025] the ruling ABC Vancouver party and mayor cut short a crucial public hearing by 4 hours so they could attend the Christmas party of the real estate developers' assn (UDI).
There was a motion to keep the hearing going, but they voted it down. #vanpoli. #vanre"
[source: https://bsky.app/profile/lidsville.bsky.social/post/3m7sqagrxps2r]
👀 One Vancouverite replied, pointed out:
"ABC wasn't just going to the developers' Christmas party, it was cutting the hearing over turning the Downtown Eastside into tower$$$$"
One friend of mayor, a disgraced former CEO of an athleisure brand, stands to benefit perhaps?

Mayor Sim and ABC Party majority council pushing through 2026 Budget, disregarding #Vancouver public pushback. This goes above & beyond the Urban Planning & Sustainability dept.
🔥👉🏻 "To silence citizens"
OneCity Vancouver reports:
NEW: City Council to consider cutting key committees (e.g. Arts and Culture, Renters, Older Persons and Elders) to silence citizens.
🚨If City Hall doesn't work for citizens, then who does it work for? (hint: Ken's rich donors!)

@AssociatedPress @business-and-finance-AssociatedPress
Building apartments near public transit (hubs on main street/corridors) is what's starting to happen in Vancouver. It took an oversupply in the market of empty expensive condos to make this happen. Saturated condo market of #VanRE making.

Railtown in #Vancouver, "light industrial" zoning debates on:
* public and employee safety vs. business viability and growth
* 'creative businesses' with modern industrial uses vs. protection of regional industrial land shortage
* high demand for below-market rental, at-market rental, and live/work housing vs. (saturated) strata market condos (approx. 4000+ in excess)
City councilor Sean Orr cast the only vote in opposition, expressing preference for #AffordableHousing:
"The amended motion's calls for an unspecified diverse housing mix were "codes for gentrification"".

A #Vancouver tech real estate company "admits to trading $26 million in securities over 7 years without being registered, contrary to the Securities Act"
"Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, an investor in Addy, appeared at events hosted by the company both before and after his election in 2022."
