Via SFU City Conversations<\/a>:<\/p>\n

A regularly-heard Vancouver refrain is that greedy developers are destroying our city\u2019s vaunted quality of life, and that politicians are in their (deep) pockets. Then again, developers say that the city\u2019s demands for contributions in return for project approvals drive up their costs and raisehousing prices for all. And recently, there have been claims that all developer contributions are going to an affordable housing fund, resulting in shortages of parks, day care centres and other public amenities.<\/p>\n

\"CC\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the truth? What public projects are funded by new developments? Are the city\u2019s priorities your priorities? Is Vancouver losing the balance of development and public amenities that have made it so famously livable? Are development charges helping to make living here unaffordable?<\/p>\n

To frame these issues, we\u2019re pleased to haveCouncillor George Affleck<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Councillor Geoff Meggs.<\/b>\u00a0Then it\u2019s your turn to question, observe, opine. If you like, bring your lunch!<\/p>\n
