We have yet to see the details, but
this looks like a good start from city planning. I guess you have to go a little at a time:
I like this comment from Gordon Price out of
the Vancouver Sun article:
Quote:
Still, neighbourhood changes on the scale proposed Thursday would have been hard to imagine in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s when Gordon Price was a Vancouver councillor, Price told Postmedia Thursday.
“RS1 was untouchable,” Price said, referring to the classification of zoning for single-family houses. “So this is a big deal.”
But Price believes it has taken the city “way, way too long” for both the densification of single-family neighbourhoods and the release of such a comprehensive housing strategy.
“Maybe there’s going to be some debate and conflict here,” he said. “But you might as well have had it five years ago.”
