The podium looks ugly especially the part fronting West 10th.
The desire to differentiate the 10th Ave facade only arises because the towers are squished to 10th Ave to avoid overshadowing the houses to the north. The colour blocking would be to avoid an overbearing streetwall.
The tower placement could also be to provide a large supermarket space in the podium, but one of the towers could have been moved to the north side or midblock away from 10th Ave.
In addition to the colour scheme, the NIMBYs also robbed Point Grey of a perfectly good terrace shape. The sooner the area gets dragged out of 1954, the better.
Future of Vancouver Park Board in question as mayor to push for revamp: sources
By Simon Little & Jordan Armstrong Global News
Posted December 5, 2023 5:10 pm
Vancouver’s mayor will call on the province to amend the city’s charter to fundamentally change the Vancouver Park Board, Global News has learned.
Ken Sim has called a press conference for 10 a.m. on Wednesday on a “proposed motion to change the Vancouver Charter.”
Whether the motion will seek to abolish the board, or to significantly scale down its power and scope, remains unclear.
But sources told Global News the motion was, at its core, about accountability resting in the hands of city council rather than elected park board commissioners.

Dan Fumano: Vancouver is B.C.'s only city with an elected park board. Mayor Ken Sim wants to change that
"We spent a year and a bit trying to fix it, it's not working," said Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. "We deserve world-class parks and recreational facilities, and so we need to change the structure."

View cone review and now potentially asking the province to abolish the parks board? Unpleasant times for lovers of bureaucracy.

JUST IN... Mayor Ken Sim says the three ABC Park Board commissioners who are against abolition and not present at today's press conference have not been removed from the ABC party. #vanpoli

Also all just talk right now until perhaps motion appears on next week's council agenda: https://council.vancouver.ca/2023121...20231212ag.htm. And even if that passes it is only asking the province to make a change.
Also, should be an interesting budget for 2024 now that Mayor Sim and ABC has had a year to get familiar with things. After the election and inauguration in November 2022 there really wasn't much of a chance to adjust the 2023 budget.

I still think this is the wrong thread for this discussion. ABC already proposed a draft budget yesterday - a 7.6% tax increase.
