Great article. I’m looking forward to the Libs and the Cons trying to outdo each other by making their housing plans better.

One thing in your article that is misleading is that you say Vancouver is zoned 80% single family. That’s no longer true. The BC NDP has changed zoning rules throughout the province to allow 4-plexes (and 6-plexes in some places) throughout all municipalities.

The BC NDP have some great housing plans. I hope they work out.

You're totally right. I should have added a bigger caveat. I do link out to details about the NDP's up-zoning efforts later in the piece, but, yes: Vancouver's restrictive zoning is, largely, a thing of the past.
