Hot pile of rubbish: Operation “Hot Pie” Closes Popular Pizza Spot. You just know some condo owner across the street complained about the noise, not realizing that filling drunk people with pizza is probably a good thing.

Renovictions on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside aren’t stopping anytime soon. Not that it’s going to solve the crisis, but the fact that this article fails to mention the DTES Local Area Plan is pretty embarrassing. At least this this Megaphone piece looks for solutions.

I wonder what kind of Asian are you talking about, anyway?

Cutest protest ever? Dog owners protest proposed off-leash area reduction. Do dog owners have some sort of dog parasite that makes them act like self-entitled weirdos? There are ten thousand dogs in this city. Maybe chill the fuck out a little bit. [Full disclosure, Sean Orr is a cat owner]

Bike lanes made me do it: Frustration from construction, bike lanes driving spike in speeding tickets in Vancouver, say police. Perhaps it would help if you gave people going 181 km/h more than just a $400 dollar ticket.

You shall not pass: Plans for New Bridge Show It Pays to Live in Premier’s Riding. I know this is a bridge, but I just can’t get over it.
