Experts were recommending we separate out stormwater and sewage from the early 1900s. But their advice was ignored and now literally billions of litres of sewage+stormwater end up in the ocean annually today. Are there examples today where we are ignoring experts? For a story!

Please consider supporting the City's proposal to add 661+ non-market homes in False Creek North. There's just a bunch of NIMBY comments so far 🫠 This is a great use of city resources to add much needed homes in a prime location. Deadline is tomorrow!

At a great session by @HeyNeighbourBC on social connectedness (aka not being so lonely) in apartment housing. Two key catalysts for neighbours getting to know each other are kids and pets. Ironically, these are also a key sources for tensions between neighbours

If constructed, this apartment by @stackmodular would be the tallest modular housing development in Canada (14 storeys). Modular approaches apparently save 25-50% in construction timelines. #HousingCentral

I need your help! I'm looking for a video clip I saw on twitter last year comparing the drop-off traffic in a private school (mostly black SUVs) vs a public school (school buses) in new york. It was an aerial shot taken from someone's apartment. Anyone remember it/have a link?

Remember when Vancouver had streetcars? For 2 months, cars ran between the Olympic Village station and Granville Island as part of the 2010 Winter Games. CBC Early Edition columnist @uytaelee explains why they likely won't come back. Video: Uytae Lee/CBC Creator Network

Anyone know of industrial businesses in Metro Vancouver that would be open to being filmed for the CBC? It's about the shortage of industrial land! Manufacturing/food processing/warehousing/etc.
