Ya......Chip and his 'Mayoral' crush/servant Moonbeam have really worked a wonder in this city. The closing of Pt. Grey Road is ridiculous.....you should see the volume on 4th and specifically at 4th and McDonald during rush hour; it's crazy busy. Here are a few things about he and Gregor...
- Chip couldn't get a seawall in front of his house....so he pushed Gregor in all the bike lane/road closure reform to close his street. Believe me....I also know people that live along that stretch and it was FAR from an overwhelming majority who were on board.
- Oddly enough....in all the bike lane reform on the west side/Kits area....Gregor sold his house and moved to about 2nd and Stephens. COINCIDENTALLY there were all of a sudden designated bike routes running north/south and east/west RIGHT to his house.
- I certainly find it interesting that Lulu HQ moves to the top of my street and then we have all sorts of new bike lanes/routes and notable traffic changes happen all around the beloved "HQ". Add to that, all his beloved plebes don't even cycle...they don't have room in their parking lot for all the vehicles so the plebes/minions all park on Kits Point. (long ongoing battle with Lulu to which I am quarterbacking for our resident's association)
- Anyone questions the "love in".....Chip throws a 50th b-day for his wife at which Red Hot Chili Pepper's play....and invites the 'who's who' in Vancouver. My in-laws were there and Gregor was right there at Chip's side....as a "yes man, we CAN do this together".
- All of these lovely changes have gone on and Moonbeam claims that there was "proper public consultation".......YAAAAA.....right. Dry that one out you can fertilize the lawn. When the changed the entire south side of Burrard Bridge and the Cornwall/Cypress area....there was sweet f*** all for "consultation". Meetings were called that very few knew about and then if the word spread....nobody from the city would show up.
Okay....back to Chipper.
I think this dock/breakwater/marina is appalling and lacks a MASSIVE amount of respect for his neighbors. There are ways to do a dock somewhat tastefully.....as opposed to taking up an entire bay as is evidenced up and down coast.
Just give it a while...soon Malaspina Strait will be his own private nautical thoroughfare closed to anyone who doesn't have property along it.
This is the what some may say is "cultish' creed by which he.....and his plebes follow.
