Strategic image and motion. Skiing, mountain biking, cycling, disc golf, gaming. I'll try anything once.

A Dutch alley, narrow with garages on the left and trailers parked along the alley.
A brown brick row home, three levels, the third level is built into the roof

Council, My name is Geoff Lister, I am a professional artist and I live here in Vancouver, and I have served on the urban design panel for the past couple of years. I support the broad strokes of the amendments proposed today. They align with councils goals: More flexibility for tenants under the tenant relocation program, enabling hotel use in key areas, enabling social housing, aligning the plan to new policies passed under your tenure, and bringing in the TOA legislation mandated by the province. I wouldn’t mind if you fit in a cheeky amendment to add a bike lane on Broadway, like any great city would build. So I come to you today to remind you that the hundred or so people here to speak today, like me, are an unrepresentative, tiny fraction of the hundreds of thousands of Vancouver voters. Even less so of the broader citizenship. Don’t listen to us.
