    BC, Vancouver’s province, has legislated the end of single family zoning as of summer this year. Vancouver specifically is allowing up to, if I recall correctly, 6 units per lot. BC is also giving a forgivable loan to homeowners to build additional units/housing on their lots.

    I think it’s a positive step, and aggressive as far as housing policy goes. The local governments are scrambling around infrastructure, transit, and parking issues.

    Maybe if they’d started addressing it 10 years ago though it wouldn’t be such a scramble.
