Given Oak Bay‘s proximity to downtown and especially the University of Victoria, it has some of the highest pressure in the region for residential development. But the council practices very conservative zoning. I have heard Victoria politicians say that Oak Bay is not “doing its share” to accommodate the region’s growth.

So I’m not sure I get exactly what it means, but this poster is definitely amusing:

Comrades! The Oak Bay students & workers soviet demands basement suites! Raise high the Red Tweed Banner of the Revolution!

  2. Typical poverty-think. “We demand zoning concessions for the rich, so they’ll rent to us!”

    Oh, wait: Oak Bay students. That means rich kids. I get it now, they’re cleverly co-opting the struggle of the “workers” — probably mostly baristas — into increasing property values, and thus their inheritances. Brilliant! Eat the poor!
