Vancouver mayoral candidate, Patrick Condon, wants to be the "Bernie Sanders" of Vancouver as he makes Metro Vancouver's housing crisis the central focus of his election campaign.

He breaks down the causes of the housing crisis, what the crisis means for people who live and work in Vancouver, his solutions (including increasing non-marketing housing in Vancouver and implementing Vancouver's very first city plan), the curious case of how fellow mayoral candidate Hector Bremner named his new political party, the other mayoral candidates on "the left", and ultimately, the choice that Vancouver must make to determine its future. Patrick Condon is seeking the mayoral nomination for the Coalition of Progressive Electors (COPE). He is the founding chair of Urban Design at the UBC School of Architecture and Landscape Architecture.
