by Sean Orr | Vancouver cops send innocent man to the hospital. Because most bank robbers stop to take out the trash in the middle of a police chase. Morons.

Take a bite out of crime: Police dog attack sparks Vancouver lawsuit. Meanwhile, organized crime controls the ports, where drugs and weapons flow in and out, and targeted hits in fancy restaurants continue without let up. But a skateboarder breaks a window? Yeah, fuck that guy up!

I won’t tase you bro: Transit cop says using Taser against drunk man ‘sickened him’. “I don’t think they are quite as safe and useful as I once believed.” That is exactly how I feel about cops, transit or otherwise.

Will young homebuyers say goodbye to Vancouver for good? Disguised in this is a weird truism: what Rennie and Co. were selling this whole time was a lifestyle. Lured in by granite countertops and chrome fixtures, all these couples bought condos downtown. But now, all of a sudden, they have a family, and nobody wants to live next to one of those (they smell like farts and influenza).

Lapdog Land: Editorial: Vancouver’s ‘unattended’ dog bylaw should be scrapped. Wherein we have abandoned the idea of raising families (having replaced them with pets).

Location is everything: 45% rent hike ‘unbelievable,’ East Van tenants say. So, no matter how shitty the building, if you live in a ‘nice’ area where other buildings are charging way more, you get dinged by proxy. Does that mean if you live in an area where rents were low, but your building was super nice and the rents were high, you could get them to match the market geography? Nope.

I guess we’re all just going to have to start stealing more bikes: New VPD property office: home to hundreds of stolen bicycles. A rotating rack of 400 bikes? That sounds like it could also be in the MOV.

Nevergreen Line: $1.4B Evergreen Line to open by 2016. Coincidentally, that is also the year Hell will start hosting hockey games.

Last resort: DiCaprio thanked for putting dead ski resort on road to rebirth. Is there anything he can’t do?
