I don't think Vin could be any clearer - he wants Vancouver to be as liveable as the world's most liveable city - which on both the Mercer and Economist lists is Vienna.

They score higher on affordable housing infrastructure than Vancouver. This would seem to require Vancouver to have much more control over housing. "According to the municipality, 62 percent of Vienna’s citizens currently live in social housing. Here, rents are regulated and tenants’ rights are strongly protected." [source]

The other thing we'll need to do is to knock all the towers down. Here's the more liveable Vienna. (Their population density is lower than the City of Vancouver too, although that's over a larger area than the city).
