It's great to be able to share some positive housing news:

The BC government is taking real steps to legalize more housing by UBC in the UEL!

🏘️ Provincial multiplexes legal NOW in the UEL mansion district

🏘️ designating the UBC bus loop as a Transit Oriented Area

It is literally impossible to be a new housing development.

You have to be thin to avoid shadows, but not too thin or else you're a pencil tower. You're supposed to be pretty, but not so pretty so as to stand out because you're supposed to fit in with the neighbourhood.

It’s hard to understate how historic and important this achievement is.

Canada is a better country when Indigenous rights and title fully enjoyed.

This morning, I updated the BC Building Code with changes - effective immediately - that will:

✅Allow for 18 stories.
✅Allow for 9 stories without drywall.
✅Allow for different building structures - like schools and libraries.

Great research highlighting how IZ seems like an easy tool but is actually problematic in multiple ways, when considering affordability
