Independent for Vancouver Mayor
Lower Tax Bills for more Affordable Government. A simple tax system, that allows the taxed to divide their own tax pie direct to services they want to support. Including debt. Even if that is more a disservice. More freedom. Free speech, Free Thought, Fun, Open Permits.

Misc. topics

Accessibility

Potholes, etc...

Proper cared for roads are better for people with disabilities more than anyone, we can even fine the Province for sending the disabled up tall steps at the their Main Street assistance office.  Require ramps only in new buildings.  Not old.  Although without the Land Use Bylaws they might find it easier to renovate it by their own choice.

Affordable Housing

Affordable is Vague, I can barely afford 1G with a Roomie.

What we need is a true respect of individual property rights, put an end to property use and maintenance bylaws as they are now, and lower the tax burden.  I am good with money, limited funds and a Flemish mother teach you that.  My site have a few links on that work to this complex issue.

Arts and Culture

I support Free Speech and Taking Less Money from Individuals.

People need to keep more of what they earn, and they need the right to free speech.  Arts and Science thrive on that.  People should be able to fund all the fun, art, and culture they decide to.  I am a snob and I won't take money from a Puffy fan to pay for my Bach.  It is censorship not to give all artist, entertainers, and venues (my family business for generations) equal Government money/grants and this is not affordable, so it should be left to the market place and individual taste.

Cannabis Legalisation & Policy

Until Someone Hurts Another, Why Waste Money Enforcing?

Show me someone is hurt, then lets investigate.  I went to School near a sex shop, it didn't make me a worse human being, so how would a pot shop.  As with all things, decent ventilation, and all that are good ideas.   We need to fight the Provincial Government over their control of Liqour and Pot.  Ban the Liqour Board Bootleggers. #nosintaxes

City Police

#Defundvice, No Racial Profile, Defend Individual Rights.

DefundVice and Car 87 and use it to fund investigations towards Rape, Murder, Theft, and Fraud.  Then Junkies and Hookers have less to fear of being witnesses, and be able to charge unpaid Johns (with contracts) with rape.   If a bad drug is on the street, people in that trade can be witnesses to a fraud case over misrepresented drugs.
I oppose Racial Profiling, in fact there is no good reason to presume guilt, and believe that the police should enforce individual rights, in fact our rights and freedoms, which is our top law, first.  Not abuse, beat and harm presumably innocent people.
I favor them re-arresting "conditional release" rapists/paedophiles and sending them back.  They didn't pay their debt.  So no jeopardy to be doubled.  Who else but a libertarian will defend your rights without question from authorities.

Community Safety and Security

Government Doesn't Protect Anyone.

It can't, it causes harm unless we prevent it from.  It can only investigate crimes after the fact.  But police should enforce your right to personal security and not arrest person for lawful self defense, even with an unlicensed gun.

Development and Overdevelopment

Lets not Sink like Venice

We do have to build up a bit, but it's not a matter of over or under.  It's also a matter of effective or not effective.  Is it going to make our city vibrant in a fiscal and social manner?

Diversity

Intellectual Diversity.

It would be nice to foster an environment of free speech, so no one is forced to exist on a narrative that isn't their own.

Drug Use

"I never harmed anyone but myself, and that's my business." - Billie Holliday

We can't protect people from themselves or substandard parenting that already took effect.

Environment & Sustainability

More Park Rangers

2 more, if my cuts go through enough with a minor pay increase, I am reasonable.  I favor parks being cared for by private citizens, by giving a person who cares for it a small private part of the park for their use, under contractual requirements, like integrating a little housing development and amenities for the public into it, conforming to the land.

Good Governance

Frugal Governance that Take Less from Individuals and Fosters Innovation and Voluntary Charity. Ignoring libertarians lead to colonialism.

We need to Govern people less, and restrict Government more.  We need taxpayers who can choose who gets the money from their tax bill directly, rather than filtered through city hall pencil pushers.

Green Space

Private Interest

More working with Private Interests, to help build better more efficient and well maintained public green space.  As needed.

Homelessness

Property Taxes, Bylaws for Land Use and Maintenance obstruct charitable people from helping.

We need to fight the taxation, we need to fight the CUPE piggy bank that is City Hall, and make reasonable decisions that can allow charitable people to do what they do best by keeping Government out of their way.

Jobs

The Private Sector Creates these.

I favor a thing called the Open Permit (contract) Policy on my site to help people become their own boss with their ideas, as well as keeping Government out of the way of businesses, the real Job Creators.

Mental Wellness

Ban Pet Bans in Buildings.

Stop Forced Treatment by Psychiatrists and Cops, or mistreatment.  Stop allowing Pet Bans, Big Dogs especially are cuddly protectors of our being and self, our personal security rights with a heart beat.  Loyal beloved adopted relatives.  This is no privilege, it's a right and it's better for the mind, body, and soul.  Again if someone breaks the leash rule or something, or someone is harmed, investigations.
Dog licenses should be for life, unless an incident is proved.

Natural Disaster Measures

We Best Leave this to Individuals

Architects are always working hard to figure out these issues, and I think they will be instrumental in making sure people are safe, we can all learn how to protect ourselves.  There are already measures by the Province and Feds, I wouldn't rely on them.

Pedestrian Safety

The Province Needs to Permaban Bad Drivers

Very bad ones anyway.  They use insurance to excuse real bad shit.  We still need due process, but there needs to be a way to do this from the province, like ending the ICBC monpoly.

Public Engagement

Public Consultation is a Lie

It's just for a few quangos and special interest groups to feel good, when they keep hard working outsiders without the time to show up out of the know.  We need to trust the individual more, Government builds confidence now, not trust.  The trust starts with them, if they are not trusted by the Government, why should they trust the Government?

Public Transit

LRT to Replace the West Coast Express

Only going as far as Nanaimo in Hastings Express.  It has more short, low construction expansion possibility, even up Nanaimo or another street to Broadway, one day to the UBC grounds, but it's hard to be certain.  We need less out of town commuting aide, this only gives Old Money an easy excuse to ship out the poor rather than make renting people cheaper units in the city.  They still get their servants, but have to see them less.  They get their waiter, but they don't need the peasant in Vancouver if they trip to Surrey is easy.
We subsidize their old money bullshit with rapid Transit.

Reconciliation

I am a Magyar, I am not of the colonial jerks who ruined a people or two.

My people suffered hard because of the same old money WASP societies.  The thing here, is, the Feds and Provinces need to treat them like the rest of us, and make Reservations into equal Municipalities with elected Chiefs, Councils and no hereditary nonsense. We are all human beings, even some of the Old Money types, perhaps. I come from the beliefs shared by Coolidge who basically did this with thriving Paiute communities.  A blood I have a little of. Voting for a Libertarian is Reconciliation, if they listened to us, no one would ever conquered, colonized, and enslaved.  Russel Means was a libertarian for this reason.

Recreation

Take Less Taxes, Spend Less Money, Let Individuals Afford Their Own Idea of Fun.

Right now Government controls our fund, deciding business hours for businesses and dictating how much money we can keep in our wallets, taking it to fun their projects that are just jobs for the boys.

Recycling

Should be Voluntary.

The Blue Bin Program, should be voluntary.  Not enforced.

Road Maintenance

It is a must.

Things can be done, by sacrificing one private lane in return for the private owner of that part to maintain the road and sidewalk all across.

Seniors

They Are Individual

This is where needs really very, and I think the private helpful people know best to utilize.  I have an idea for Parking Meters where Charities and Services can get a parking meter or two and people voluntary pay them when parking, and the service collects it themselves, not filtered through City Hall.

Sewage and Water Infrastructure

We need to look into composting toilet technology.

If we could implement this into sewer treatment, just imagine the cost saving and cleaner waterways.  Even better if we can encourage people to voluntary install them in their homes without monetary bribes.

Small Business

Lower Taxes, Deregulation.

We shouldn't tell people to obey Government idea of business hours, and what and when to sell.  If you know your business well you know what to do, you can figure out when and how long it is good to be open.  You should feel free to work out of your home.  Garage, et al...See Open Permits.  No reason why things like Dog Walkers are licensed and permitted and red taped.  Most things are covered in red tape.  It's wrong.  Taxes need lowering, we need to a place that is good to do business, not charging more taxpayers, but attracting more.

Sports and Leisure

Same as Art

See Art.

Taxes

0.1% Property Tax

Flat, no other tax, and you choose where you send it.  To what ever service you want, Dept will count as service.  All services and departments can plead and compete with their reason for you to help fund theirs.  No filtering through City Hall red tape, they all handle their own accounts.

Traffic

No Subway, and better thinking towards bike lanes.

The Subway is a 20 year project that has little long term impact aside from one route, and a city has to be built around from it's infancy to work with a good subway system.  Like London or Budapest.  They were not as developed when they built theirs.  We'd have to mass gentrify otherwise.
Bike lanes need more thinking than some gimmick used to get away with other bad policies.  Like perhaps giving a private rich cyclist a private cycling lane in return for fixing the roads.  With or without bike lanes all Cars, Bicycles, Motorcylcles, Mobility Scooters, and Wheel Chairs need crack free sidewalks and pothole free roads.  This is our first problem.

Trans Mountain Pipeline

My Concern.

Private Property Easements, and China getting just a little oil.  I will not help Maoists.

Vibes

Sex Toys?

Goes with the Billie Holiday line I figure.

Youth

No Skateboard or Arcade Bans

I came here from Calgary, from a place with an awesome arcade, and then even around Vancouver there were good ones.  In Vancouver they were all R rated.  This has to stop.  Japan thrives on coin op gaming, Arcades were cool things, no need to keep this hostility.

Libertarian Needed as Mayor

Council Needs a Free Speech advocate who can be trusted to give all councilors and dissidents a say without picking a choosing and judging for others. We need no blind eyes to police brutality either. We need Police to enforce rights and freedoms first and foremost.
