The City of Vancouver has six times as many tennis courts as it does basketball courts. Why?

I’m excited to share another new About Here video at the Vancouver Public Library on Sept 28th! We’ll discuss the messy forces that shape our recreational spaces and why some sports struggle to find room in our cities more than others.

At first glance, this year’s State of Downtown report might seem a bit uneventful - downtown Vancouver is stabilizing after years of turbulence following the pandemic. But dig deeper into the report, and I think there are important changes happening below the surface here that will likely reshape the future of our city centre.

Thanks to Downtown Van for inviting me to share some insights from this year’s report. You can read the full State of Downtown 2026 report at dtvan.ca.

Why does Vancouver’s bike share pale in comparison to Montreal or Toronto’s bike shares? I looked into this question with and found a fascinating dilemma around complex contracts, a very messy history, and ultimately a philosophical question around what role these services play in our transportation system.

Metro Vancouver’s messy patchwork of bike shares and scooter shares makes little sense and ultimately limits the full potential of these services. has a pitch for your consideration: a regional bike share service that’s consistent across Metro Vancouver and can be unlocked with your Compass Card.

In fact, there’s a motion coming to Vancouver’s city council next week that, if approved, would explore getting TransLink to lead a fully coordinated regional bike-share system. What do you think?

NEW VIDEO: The Bikeshare Dilemma.

Bikeshares and scootershares (also known as “Shared Micromobility) is one of the fastest growing forms of transportation on the planet today, but cities appear to be divided on how to manage them. In cities like Montréal, bikeshare is fully owned and subsidized by the local government, while in cities like Seattle it’s operated by private startups like Lime and Bird that pay significant fees to the city. My latest video with pulls back the curtain on how these services work, and why cities can’t seem to agree about how to treat this emerging form of transportation, and how Metro Vancouver could benefit from a regional bike share system.

I think Waterfront station’s elevator replacement is indicative of larger issues within the elevator industry itself. I recently teamed up with to look into the many issues facing the elevator industry in North America, and how we might fix them. Watch the full video right now on YouTube!

Here’s a short excerpt from our latest video on elevators. Over the course of researching this video, I began to truly appreciate the transformative impact elevators have had on our cities and the critical role they play today in making them accessible. This little section was my attempt at communicating that importance, perhaps it’ll make you as elevator-pilled as I am…

NEW VIDEO: North America’s Elevator’s Problem

Why do so many new buildings in North America lack elevators? Why are elevators often broken for months at a time or longer? And why do elevators cost nearly three times as much to build here compared to Europe? Our latest video looks into the many issues plaguing North America’s elevator industry, and what it might take to fix it.
