Homeless in Vancouver – Vancouver Rental Crisis
Homeless in Vancouver –This 3D Multimedia artwork depicts the magnitude of the Vancouver rental crisis. This piece is priced much higher than other pieces on my website – because it also symbolizes the inequality that artists face. They are not proportionally to the mainstream society.
In all probability, most of us would agree that housing, healthcare and the environment are three of our most pressing issues. Because this piece of art was motivated by housing issues, I will leave healthcare and environment on the side table during the rest of this post.
The housing issue is shockingly widespread. It is not a problem for Vancouver only. It is a problem across BC, and across Canada, and across North America, and across the world. How did it get like this? One of the key points, IMHO is that we ignored the problem when it was ONLY Vancouver and Toronto. While those who were most affected spoke out – they were ignored. They were the minority.
Unaddressed the problem expanded. It grew to include suburbia. Affordability issues expanded to neighboring cities – Burnaby, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and it went further and further.
