What would you do?

At least it's a proper curb.

I don't find those obstacles, or the ones on Richardson, very challenging... about the same as a speed bump.

I lived on Belton in the late 90s. Those concrete barriers were there back then.
Yes, it's ridiculous. The City has money to make bike lanes and plazas all up and down Vancouver Street but they can't or won't make a proper curb here.

I already mentioned this parking lot on Princess Ave. So here's another central property just off Fort Street which further illustrates the insincerity of the missing middle agenda, and the contradictions between the various agendas. Housing is a precious commodity except when it isn't. Cars are bad except when they aren't. Green space is essential except when it's irrelevant.
Whenever the system loudly claims to be warring against something, you can be certain it's not actually doing what it claims to be doing.

How about they just stop sending everyone letters each year telling them their houses are worth $200,000 more than last year. That’s probably the biggest impact there is on house prices. It’s not a reflection it’s a manifestation.

In any event, it was only a year or two ago said we'd get $500,000 townhouses.

The solution to all of this is quite simple. Drop the UCB and stop pretending the ALR is a serious designation in urban environments, cut the tax on building products, get rid of the land transfer tax, and let the suburbs flourish. Anything short of that is just paying a seamstress to resew the same dress.
That's a very effective shield though. Metchosin has been using it for decades.
Metchosin farmer Robin Tunnicliffe had been working as a tenant farmer for 15 years in Saanich while she looked for land to buy. But with prices continually climbing, she couldn’t afford to do so.
“I’ve never really thought it was going to be possible for me to put down roots,” she said.
She got lucky. Bob Mitchell, who ran Sea Bluff Farm in Metchosin, was looking to line up a successor. He reached out to Tunnicliffe after he read her book on sustainable farming. She first came on to help Mitchell a decade ago and has since taken over operations.
That’s a rare occurrence.
Tunnicliffe, 48, said most farmers her age can’t afford high land prices and if farmers looking to retire don’t have children who want to take over or some other arrangement, there’s a real risk the land may go unfarmed.
From 2011 to 2016, the total number of B.C. producers fell from approximately 29,000 to 26,000 and the average age of primary operators rose to 56 years, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries.
The effects of that trend are already starting to materialize, Tunnicliffe said.

Metchosin doesn’t have much that much ALR. It’s mostly pure zoning and restrictions that inhibit housing.That's a very effective shield though. Metchosin has been using it for decades.
