‘It just feels like home’: New Mount Pleasant coworking space an instant success serving social justice champions

Help us build the future of hyper-local news in Vancouver

If you've read this far, you probably get something out of Vancity Lookout — and I'd like to keep it that way.

I'm Geoff, the founder. Here's the honest version of how this works: every story you read here is reported by a small team and funded almost entirely by the few hundred Vancouver readers who've decided this kind of journalism is worth paying for. No hedge fund owners. No clickbait quotas.

Just neighbourhood reporting that takes time to do properly — the VPD budget, the Broadway Plan, the Downtown Eastside, city hall on the days nobody else shows up.

If you want to read more of this, and you can afford it, the most useful thing you can do is become a member. It's how the next story gets written

Together, we can rebuild local neighbourhood news in Vancouver.

.— Geoff Sharpe, and the Vancouver Lookout team
