Happy Hour – A Future We Can’t Afford? Young Citymakers and the Cost of Vancouver.

Join young citymakers in a discussion about one of Vancouver’s hottest topics for young people: Affordability.

Participatory Video Booth will be on site.

In the face of skyrocketing housing prices and shrinking vacancy rates, there is no shortage of opinions on how affordability is impacting young people. That said, it’s less common to hear opinions directly from young people themselves. Presented by Metropolitan Collective and Two by Fore, a diverse panel of young citymakers will share their views on array of questions ranging from the basics – renting, buying, should I stay or should I go? – to the complex – entitlement, Airbnb and who’s not in the room?

Drawing on their distinct and related city making backgrounds, the panel will additionally address affordability beyond housing, offering interactive discussion relating to mobility, space for leisure and coping strategies.

Join us for an evening of drinks, free-wheeling discussion, open questions and a participatory Video Booth and find out what ‘Vancouver’s lifeblood’ really thinks about affordability in Vancouver.
