Airbnb to take over vacated BC MLA Victoria residences while the Legislative buildings are saved from a Tremor 8?

As much of northern British Columbians cry out for Make Work projects eg. Site C, southern British Columbians could be served equally well by simply moving the legislative business to one that is less remote transportation wise.  There have been plans afoot for years to make the legislative Precinct more secure, well before the rallying cry of the BC Liberals call to arms to protect our schools with seismic upgrades, then failed to complete. The BC Liberals mantra seemed to be that those schools that were from an old Era were more valuable as real estate for friends to develop that provide spaces for education and their playing fields.  The renovation would take years, four or more, to achieve that goal, all while it sat in a white bubble wrap such as the one that kept Ottawa Parliament buildings dry.  Not much to see here folks, move along.

Five years ago Tristin Hopper of the National Post pointed out the Why of moving the Members of the Legislature to an area that was more accessible than Victoria.   eg.  Vancouver.

When the Big One finally hits coastal B.C., while Vancouver’s earthquake-proof skyline and the region’s many wood homes will come out largely unscathed, the province’s iconic Parliament Buildings will most likely topple.

Seventies-era premier Bill Bennett gradually shifted his cabinet meetings and press conferences into Vancouver, Gordon Campbell was known to pack his Victoria business into day trips, and current premier Christy Clark proudly wears her Victoria hate on her sleeve.

Last year, she colourfully called the capital a petty, “sick city” filled with phonies — although her comments were specifically targeted at the legislature, rather than Victorians themselves. “I try never to go over there,” she said.
