Just voted for @wazaroff.bsky.social in OneCty’s mayoral nomination. If you’re a OneCity member check your email and vote!

Very important proposal for bus signal priority in Vancouver by Mayoral hopeful @wazaroff.bsky.social running for @onecityvan.bsky.social. Transportation equity means prioritizing transit that’s moving a LOT more people in a lot less space. That’s ironically better for EVERYONE, including drivers.

😍

William Azaroff, who is seeking OneCity's nomination to run for Vancouver mayor, is proposing city-wide coordinated traffic signals that could cost up to $200 million. 🚦 It'd also enable extensive signal priority for #TransLink buses. #vanre #vanpoli dailyhive.com/vancouver/va...

Just a few hours left to sign up to vote to support my bid for the OneCity mayoral nomination race! We can build this city into a great place for everyone, we just have to start. This is a great way to get the ball rolling. www.onecityvancouver.ca/membership_c...

Last day to become a OneCity to vote in the mayoral nomination! Take 2 minutes now to be apart of it 🙌🏼

I'm proud to accept the endorsement of former City Councillor, Mayor, Leader of the Opposition, and Premier of BC, Mike Harcourt. Mike Harcourt governed this city during a time of great change and great optimism. We need big changes in Vancouver. And we need to bring that spirit of optimism back.

Kate Hammer: who is the politician to watch for 2026? Richard Zussman: So, I think it's going to be William Azaroff. So, this is a guy who a lot of people may not be familiar with right now, but he may be the mayor of Vancouver in a year from now. Check out the full clip below!

I recently had the chance to chat with @wazaroff.bsky.social who is running for mayor. He is smart, has great judgement, and spends his time providing affordable housing for those who need it. He would make an excellent mayor.

The headline is "Building Support." I swear I didn't pitch that pun, though as a housing guy, I do appreciate a good dad joke. Thanks to the Straight for making me look reasonably mayoral. www.straight.com/city-culture...

We need to build homes, everywhere, for all kinds of people. That's how you solve a housing crisis.

In addition to being CEO of non-profit housing provider Brightside, William Azaroff serves on the Vancouver International Film Festival board and is board president for Community Housing Coverage. Now, he runs for mayor of Vancouver. #vanpoli

I'm thinking today of the dozens of CoV team members that Ken Sim has fired, right before the holidays, thanks to his election-year budget stunt. Workers keep us moving. We need to invest in our city and its services, and we need great people working for our city to do that.

The results are clear. Painted lanes lead to more cyclists being killed or seriously injured. Cycle tracks (i.e. protected lanes) are much safer and lead to huge increases in cycling. This is data from Vancouver. Our politicians should stop ignoring it.

I'll be speaking today at the hearing for the Social Housing initiative - championed by OneCity's @christineboyle.bsky.social. Big shocker: I support it! It means more affordable, non-market homes in neighbourhoods across the City. That means lower rents - and homes for people, not profit.

Candidates for Mayor in Vancouver for next year’s municipal election are starting to officially launch their campaigns. Here’s one I’ll be watching closely given his housing and community-building experience, @wazaroff.bsky.social with @onecityvan.bsky.social.

Longtime PFB client worthy of consideration

We’re so lucky to have someone like @wazaroff.bsky.social stepping up to run for the OneCity mayoral nomination! This makes me so hopeful for the future of our city #vanpoli

“This budget is basically just ’Trust me bro.’” Vancouver city councillors got an earful Wednesday and Thursday from residents opposed to a proposed budget that would freeze property taxes and is expected to increase fees and cut services. @jenstden.bsky.social reports. #vanpoli

We are not living in an era of optional climate policy. We are living in an era of planetary limits where the choices we make in city halls will determine the world our children inherit, @carolmliao.bsky.social and @naomiaklein.bsky.social write. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/13/o...

I’m so enraged at what is happening at City Hall. Sign up to speak against this undemocratic and harmful budget by 5pm today: vancouver.ca/your-governm...

The Vancouver Police Department has already gone $17 million over budget. Now they're asking for a $50 million increase. The park board, meanwhile, is bracing for $15 million in cuts. #vanpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

We started with 32, nominated by you. We're down to TWO intersections in the Worst Intersection in Metro Vancouver finals! Main & 7th & Kingsway? Or No. 3 Rd & Sea Island Way & Bridgeport Rd? Only one can emerge victorious. Vote now! visionzerovancouver.ca/2025/09/23/w...

Bligh has a decent amount of support from the province and feds (more than Sim or Allam at this point), which could help. But her 6 years being a supporter of Ken Sim, and getting elected under both the NPA and ABC banners, means it’ll be difficult to get support from local left-wing parties.

Rebecca Bligh voted to slash wages for workers, to block rental housing in wealthy neighbourhoods, and to oppose common sense tools to properly fund our schools. We need a progressive mayor on the ballot to deliver the change Vancouver needs. And we’ll get one. More soon.

Going to council today - motion #5 I’m really curious to see how this is received. The motion potentially up-zones almost all of the weathiest single detached properties in the city. Will be telling who is for/against.

IMPORTANT: Here in Vancouver on Sept 17th, City Council will consider a motion by Councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social directing Staff to look at allowing 6-storey apts & retail at corners along active transport streets & around parks. This idea should have been done 10+ years ago. Please support.

Many cities could use #BetterMayors. We’ve had many excellent ones in recent years, including @annehidalgo.bsky.social @valplante.bsky.social @clovermoore.bsky.social @wutrain.bsky.social Who you choose to let be mayor has a huge effect on your city’s success. It can’t be overstated. Pick better.

Kids are back to school today, and New Westminster is changing 30km/h school zone hours to 7am-10pm. This is a great change - school zones are active zones all day long! Thanks to @pjnewwest.bsky.social for the leadership, and great comments from @michaelhall.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Vancouver’s Integrity Commissioner has found Mayor Ken Sim and ABC councillors broke the code of conduct on multiple occasions for coordinating amendments to controversial motions in separate private online conversations ahead of public council meetings

Huge kudos to Andrew and Lisa for sticking with this story for months and showing how the VPD slow-walked FOI requests and requests for updated data. www.ctvnews.ca/vancouver/ar...

Calling all urbanists! Come find us at the Vancouver Big Tent Urbanist event on Friday and choose your fighter (or multiple) 👀✊🏙️ Many organizations will be there, including Sean Orr and Lucy Maloney! #vancouverbc

🤡🤡🤡

FYI, our guest for this event will be Vancouver City Councillor @lucymaloney.bsky.social, a champion of the livable streets, transportation, and environmental movements. We're excited to get to talk with her. Gotta respect elected officials who don't shy away from sitting down with The War on Cars!

“It’s every light & every corner & every time a car almost turns into you — it’s really scary & it’s just time to consider something a little bit radical to save people from getting hurt … It shouldn’t take another fatality to motivate change.” It’s not radical at all. It’s actually common sense.

Got my ticket! Can’t wait 🚴🏼‍♀️🚎🛴

Vancouver is on track to blow past its climate targets, thanks mostly to natural gas.

It's a housing crisis. Why is Vancouver still banning apartments on the vast majority of residential land? This suppresses both non-market and market housing creation, exporting the city's shortage to rest of the region and province. BC should put its foot down. www.sightline.org/2024/10/09/v...

Additional confirmation that this is a great choice

In 2023 Ken Sim filed multiple code of conduct complaints against opposition councillor Christine Boyle, costing her thousands of dollars in legal fees Now, Boyle is the Minster of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and is the main government point person for everything Sim wants life's rich tapestry

When progressives come together, incredible things are possible. Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and to New York. Next up: Vancouver.

One of the reasons I was so proud to run with OneCity was @christineboyle.bsky.social’s fight for social housing in every neighbourhood. Her social housing initiative, passed in 2022, is finally coming to the public for consultation. Make your voice heard! www.shapeyourcity.ca/social-housing

My motion to restore Vancouver's Renter Office may have failed today but on the bright side, I'd be surprised if the word "bollards" has ever been used as many times in a Council meeting as it was today. #Bollards

Tenants need to know that Vancouver has their back. That's why @lucymaloney.bsky.social and @ptfry.bsky.social have brought a motion to bring back the Renter Office.

it’s highly anticipated because you sat on the land for 17 years after getting a $211 million interest free loan

“They cut speed limits, changed street design, removed space for cars… Now it appears that work is paying off. #Oslo & #Helsinki are reaping the rewards of committed action on making their roads safer, reducing pedestrian fatalities to zero last year.” #VisionZero #SpeedKills
