Column: City of Vancouver board said no to a daycare for eight kids, after area residents mobilize to oppose it.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink7•1 year ago I can choose not to live next to a park… This daycare is across the street from Douglas Park. There is one park and two schools within 1.5 blocks of Douglas Park. Oak st is one block from Douglas Park Cambie st is 2.5 blocks from Douglas Park. If they want a quiet neighborhood they should move somewhere else. The city should redevelop all the land that faces the park and build dense, mixed affordability housing and childcare.

I bet there’s a reason they don’t. I don’t know what it is, because I’m not a city planner, but I bet they know why, because they are city planners.
