Bobo Eyrich (he/him) is a relentless optimist. He moved to Vancouver 11 years ago and, as a parent of eight-month-old twins, is excited to introduce them to Vancouver. Bobo is a physicist, developing and testing new emissions-free energy production systems. His convictions on the need for, and benefits of, an equitable and caring society underpin his fixation on housing, transportation, and land-use policy. Bobo is seeking a nomination with OneCity to run for city council to push for urgent and ambitious changes to Vancouver’s housing system in pursuit of social, climate, and economic justice.
