Mayor Gregor Robertson and Vision Vancouver were thrown into power in the fall of 2008 by a populace demanding change. Robertson talked about ending homelessness, creating affordable housing, and even tackling real-estate speculation...But Vision-in-power has squandered its mandate for change. Vancouver's affordability crisis has deepened...Outrageous land prices inflate costs across the board, from food to art.
