For the majority of Vancouver's land, it's not density that's driving the run-up in land value.
#VanCityCouncil unanimously approves agenda item Motion 7. Streamlining the Provision of Duplex and Multiplex Housing in R1-1 Zoning
Most of Vancouver’s land is priced by exclusivity, not by density
Some people (landscape architects, mostly) claim that land prices drive housing costs, through upzoning increasing land values. If true, why does First Shaughnessy (a heritage-protected mansion neighborhood) have 4x growth in land values? 1/
Prefab is great, but have you tried outright zoning?
One of the reasons I was so proud to run with OneCity was @christineeboyle’s fight for social housing in every neighbourhood. Her social housing initiative, passed in 2022, is finally coming to the public for consultation. Make your voice heard!

Beware of these scammers “Amka Homes” in @CityofBurnaby - they’re advertising lane house construction using photos of our projects. I assume the other projects are fake too.
I’ve got a few upcoming talks (IRL) June 11: Passive House Accelerator “What’s next after #Passivhaus?” June 12: PIBC (Planning Inst. BC) 2025 Conference > Panel w a great group & my fav zoning rants July 9: ULI (Urban Land Institute) “The Potential: Single Stair Bldgs”

for you @VanPoliMorphus
Imagining a 4 storey #SingleStair 8 plex with "family size units" that could fit 'everywhere'. In this case, a 50x122 residential lot with a lane, with 50% site coverage. (4x) 1300sf flats, 3br + Den (3x) 1000sf flats, 2br (1x) 850sf 1BR (1x) 150sf Cargo Bike Garage
A worthy cause

Part of the solution to our housing supply shortage rests in allowing even modest density increases, enabling communities to 'grow-up' and transform into their next iterations. In Vancouver, this old single family home from 1905 becomes a duplex from @Lanefab. 🇨🇦 📍Vancouver
