TEAM for a Livable Vancouver Draft

Editorial estimate: Disagree (medium confidence)

TEAM proposes development within neighbourhood scale and context, with restored parking minimums. Hardwick favours construction within existing zoned capacity rather than further rezoning.

Neighbourhood-scale planning and reliance on existing zoned capacity suggest opposition to blanket six-storey permission. Source limits: This does not identify a citywide height permission. Existing zoning can already permit buildings larger than neighbouring structures. Candidate statement.

COPE Draft

Editorial estimate: Agree (low confidence)

COPE proposes lifting the supportive-housing freeze and reviving the social housing initiative.

Restarting social housing permissions suggests accepting additional homes with some scale changes, especially for non-market housing. Generalising beyond that tenure is uncertain. Source limits: Allen/COPE joint campaign policy predating her withdrawal; seek Council-slate reaffirmation before scoring.

Hardwick seeks community-led planning and would replace the official development plan. TEAM proposes development within neighbourhood scale and context, with restored parking minimums.

Community-led neighbourhood planning suggests greater influence for current local residents; greatest weight is an inference.

COPE Draft

Editorial estimate: Agree (medium confidence)

COPE proposes restoring the renters office and facilitating rental-to-co-op conversions. COPE describes Orr pursuing tenant purchases of rental buildings for co-op conversion.

The party-branded conversion proposal and Orr profile support expanding co-ops. The post-withdrawal slate has not reaffirmed the whole document. Source limits: Allen/COPE joint campaign policy predating her withdrawal; seek Council-slate reaffirmation before scoring. A campaign claim about a motion needs the original minutes; this is not proof of enactment.

COPE Draft

Editorial estimate: Disagree (low confidence)

COPE proposes lifting the supportive-housing freeze and reviving the social housing initiative. Orr requests a workforce-housing study of municipal sites near hospitals and delivery partners including co-operatives.

Public and non-profit delivery proposals suggest opposing a predominantly private delivery emphasis. Larger City ownership itself is less explicit. Source limits: Allen/COPE joint campaign policy predating her withdrawal; seek Council-slate reaffirmation before scoring. Individual feasibility proposal; no construction outcome or party-wide position inferred.

OneCity promotes a public builder with a target of 4,000 affordable homes.

The public builder suggests a larger public delivery role instead of a primarily private-construction emphasis. Ownership and funding details remain incomplete. Source limits: Pre-withdrawal announcement attributed to Azaroff and OneCity. Cost, tenure and continued commitment need confirmation.

Editorial estimate: Disagree (medium confidence)

Bligh proposes more co-op and community housing through community partners, retaining community ownership of public land. Bligh reserves City land for public, below-market housing while the housing gap persists.

Community partners and retained public land suggest opposition to prioritising private delivery over a public role. Source limits: The page attributes the commitments to Rebecca; do not silently assign a personal answer to every party candidate. Candidate statement with a stated housing-gap condition.

Vancouver Liberals Draft

Editorial estimate: Agree (low confidence)

Vancouver Liberals propose consolidating housing approvals and aligning the local building code with provincial rules. Allam proposes adopting the provincial building code and consolidating housing approvals.

The approvals and building-code emphasis suggests prioritising enabled construction over a larger City ownership role. It does not exclude public housing. Source limits: A permitting change does not establish support for neighbourhood scale changes. Regulatory simplification does not determine ownership or neighbourhood scale. Candidate statement.

OneCity Vancouver Draft

Editorial estimate: Disagree (medium confidence)

OneCity proposes a connected walking and cycling network, prioritising neighbourhoods with poorer access. OneCity proposes transit-priority streets with TransLink and exploring public ownership of Mobi.

Transit-priority streets and a connected active network suggest giving bus and bike movement priority in some constrained corridors. The universal trade-off is inferred. Source limits: No priced route list or explicit parking-removal commitment established. Exploration is not an acquisition or funding agreement.

Green Party of Vancouver Draft

Editorial estimate: Agree (low confidence)

Vancouver Liberals Draft

Editorial estimate: Agree (low confidence)

Rejecting a ban on sites suggests permitting additional service access. Use of the mayoral position as a party proxy and expansion are both inferred. Source limits: Candidate statement. Maintaining access is distinct from promising additional services.
