Affordable housing continues to dominate the national conversation—and yet, no level of government seems to have cracked the code. In today's episode of The Vancouver Life, we're taking this issue into our own hands. Following our most-commented video ever, where we introduced a series of bold ideas to bring truly affordable, ownership-based housing to Canadians, we're back with more. Many responded with sharp criticism, valid points, and even better ideas. It inspired us to expand on the original concept, now tentatively called The Dan Plan, and crowdsource even more solutions from our community. With over 10,000 viewers tuning in weekly, if even 1% of you contribute, that's 100 new ideas we can compile into a living document—and present directly to government contacts with the goal of influencing real policy change.The 'Dan Plan' includes removing development cost charges and developer profit margins by having government step in as the builder, offering 0% interest construction loans, and fast-tracking approvals. For buyers, it proposes radical affordability measures: zero down payment, no GST, no property transfer tax, and even no annual property tax for qualifying homes. These changes, if implemented, would reduce the barrier to homeownership by a huge amount—immediately. This isn't about building a few thousand affordable rentals years from now. This is about creating affordable homes people can own and build wealth with today. And while the plan isn't perfect, it's meant to start a conversation—and we want you to be part of it. Share your ideas in the comments, and we'll refine and present the best of them to government officials.In addition to the affordability push, we highlight a rare real estate opportunity happening right now in Surrey. The Belvedere, a just-completed concrete high-rise, is offering homes at 25% below their original list price. Despite showing “sold out” online, approximately 70 units are being released under this promotion, with prices starting at $721 per square foot. Appraisals are reportedly coming in $90,000 higher than the discounted prices, making this one of the most compelling condo deals in the Lower Mainland. Financing is expected to be smoother with these valuations, and we anticipate a swift sell-out. To learn more or get access, visit condoday.ca or reach out to us directly.We also unpack a massive week in Canadian real estate data. Housing starts jumped 30% in April to 279,000 annualized units—the strongest print since June 2023—but nearly all of that growth came from purpose-built rentals. Condo and single-family home starts, by contrast, have fallen to decade lows. This unusual dynamic points to a likely plateau in rent prices and suggests that condo values may face future headwinds due to increased supply and moderating rents.Whether you're passionate about housing affordability, curious about the current market landscape, or just looking for a rare real estate deal, this episode delivers insight and opportunity. And if you believe Canadians deserve affordable homes they can own, now is the time to raise your voice. Drop your ideas in the comments—we're listening, compiling, and taking action. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Text us your thoughts or questionsSummaryDoes you and your team look forward to performance appraisals, knowing it will be a positive team experience that drives real growth and development? Or do you all dread them because they are uncomfortable, bureaucratic, and a waste of time?Appraisals are a significant opportunity for everyone to benefit – team members, the team, the leader, and the organisation. But that isn't always the reality. Tune in as we unpack 15 reasons appraisals are a waste of time and how to address those issues.Links and resources mentioned in the showThe Real Cost of Poor Performance (downloadable infographic)5 Conversations Every Manager Must Master (downloadabale PDF)Is Your Leadership Style Enabling Accountability - or Making Underperformance Comfortable?

Many leaders view them as administrative burdens rather than developmental opportunities. When conducted effectively, performance reviews are transformative tools for growth, alignment, and improved team dynamics. The fundamental problem with many appraisals is they're approached as tick-and-flick exercises rather than meaningful conversations. The opportunity to build connection, provide direction, and foster growth is missed. The most effective appraisals balance reflection on past performance with planning for future development. This pairing is essential – looking back without planning forward leaves team members without direction, while planning development without addressing current performance issues ignores potential barriers to growth.Some key topics from this episode:The real value: reflecting on past performance and planning future developmentCustomising frequency based on individual needsCreating two-way feedback conversations Selecting the appropriate time and locationProviding micro-feedback throughout the year Planning effectively by sending questio******************************************************Want some insight into your workplace culture?

Home inspections and appraisals can have some similiarities as far as on some of the loans if the appraisal report points out an issue with the home it will need to be repaired to get financing, but overall they are mostly different.

Home, business and landowners will be receiving their first half property taxes in the coming weeks. In Cuyahoga County many taxpayers will likely see an increase. This is a result of a property reappraisal that was conducted last year in the county as required by the state. Overall, Cuyahoga County saw property values increase on average 32%. That does not mean property taxes will increase the same amount. On the “Sound of Ideas,” we're going to talk about property taxes and possible reforms and what if anything Cuyahoga County property owners can do if they dispute their appraised values. Later, we will hear from a journalist in Los Angeles where wildfires whipped by near-hurricane force winds are devastating parts of Southern California.

When you’re launching your own business, some of the first questions you have to ask yourself are, who is your target market? How are you going to differentiate yourself from the competition? Are you going to try to be all things to all people? Or go niche? Will you specialize in a certain area, or combine some of your talents and skills to appeal to a particular customer base? Getting these foundational questions wrong can be the difference between making it and being one of those 50 % of small businesses that fails in the first year.

If the United States has been so hostile to Marxism, what accounts for Marxism's recurrent attractiveness to certain Americans? Marxism and America: New Appraisals (Manchester University Press, 2021) sheds new light on that question in essays engaging sexuality, gender, race, nationalism, class, memory, and much more, from the Civil War era through to 21st century cultures of activism. This book is an invaluable resource for historians and theorists of US political struggle. I was joined for this interview by editors Christopher Phelps and Robin Vandome (both University of Nottingham), and contributors Mara Keire (Oxford University) and Andrew Hartman (Illinois State University). We discussed the impetus behind the book and its broader scholarly context, before turning to Mara's chapter ("Class, commodity, consumption: theorizing sexual violence during the feminist sex wars of the 1980s") and finally Andrew's chapter ("Rethinking Karl Marx: American liberalism from the New Deal to the Cold War"). We hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we enjoyed recording it! Catriona Gold is a PhD candidate in Geography at University College London, researching security, subjectivity and mobility in the 20-21st century United States. Her current work concerns the US Passport Office; she has previously published on US Africa Command and the 2013-16 Ebola epidemic. She can be reached by email or on Twitter.

“Big day today. Swindon mob are arriving. Um, I've laid on a do for them. Part of the job…If you ask me what kind of vibe I'm going to lay down, it's gonna be a very much just a chill out let's-get-to-know-each-other type of vibe" This week we dive into Series 2 in our rewatch of the BBC Office! We look at ‘Merger' and ‘Appraisals', the first 2 episodes in the next series. We go through all of the story lines, talking heads, and performance reviews that go into them. And we make sure to highlight all of the comedy routines, talking cookie jars, and David Brent poetry that go into them. Then we head to the Conference Room for another segment comparing these 2 episodes with the US version of the show—this week it's entitled, ‘I've Forgot Me Snotted Creams”—before closing with an extra-challenging round of listener submitted trivia!
