There you might get some actual affordable homes out of the exercise.

The Socialist Party?!
What kind of a socialist trys to unlock a free market approach to housing and unlocking millions of private real-estate development potential?
Killarney and Fraserview and both captured in the multiplex plan and the Secured Market Rental Policy. They are also subject to change as a part of the upcoming Villages plans. And since ABC wants to move a BRT line off 49th Ave and onto East Hastings first, well then why push extra density into this corner without transit improvements?
