Looks like planners are starting to realize that we can densify further in CoV, and at the same time curb speculations.
Let's see if we can increase the density of Vancouver by implementing such strategies, would love to see doubling of numbers in skytrain station nodes, and neighbourhood centres such as Commercial/Broadway area, Kerrisdale and Oakridge mall.
Love this from Gordon Price too: 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. |
I like reading Price's work, but this strikes me as him championing density for the sake of being dense and green rather than him actually caring about how it can ease housing affordability.
