Where did you get the 95% from BTW?

This is the direction Burnaby town centres are heading, which will ultimately make it the clear winner when it comes to creating more dense neighbourhoods in recent times.

Definitely won't be seeing anything like this if Burnaby were part of Vancouver now.

Only gullible folks will believe that "laneway housing" can create more density than what Burnaby is doing now. You're just kidding yourself.

Joke of the year.
