Continuing to think about what the next 'vancouver special' should be. This is 2FSR, single stair flats. 50% site coverage with permeable area / trees. Anywhere from 7 to 14 homes. Passive house efficiency, with a nice bike garage and a few parking spots for electric car share.
Work is underway to integrate the Province’s recent housing legislation with ongoing efforts under the Housing Vancouver Strategy & the Vancouver Plan. Together, we’re building a more inclusive & affordable future. More info: ow.ly/WsHY50RiAlT #HousingVan #VancouverPlan
Shaughnessy will be a nice place to have more housing. Should be more than plexes, but that's a good start.
🙌 Multiplex update: we've now accepted 103 development permit applications for new #multiplexes, totaling approximately 446 new homes throughout Vancouver's low-density neighbourhoods. #VancouverHousing #HousingFirst #HousingForAll
CBC features multi-generational living, including interviews with the Hein family whose character infill dwelling was built by Lanefab. The new plex zoning provides similar benefits, but can be had without the hoops and delays of the character program. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…

Multiplexes don't solve all challenges. That said they are a new option, w strong interest. Vancouver has received 40 applications (2X the # compared to Duplex after launch), as of Jan 31st. All projects have electric heat & hot water @ Step 4 efficiency! #VanRE @HavanOfficial
We've been doing thick walls with modern trim details for 15+ years. We also do some more traditional projects with wider trim. In general I'm glad the city is moving away from "character first" zoning rules, even if there are some lingering policies.

Cool to see heating fuel by province graphic by @ENERGY_minute Electricity on either end of the country, gas in the middle, diesel up north and a little heating oil in the Maritimes.
I have helped a woman and her guide dog cross twice in two weeks. @broadwaysubway_ could we please construct the crossing going from SW corner Broadway and Cambie to the NW corner so it can be recognized by @CNIB guide dogs. If @CityofVancouver needs to be involved, let me know
Speaking of zoning changes... here are a couple of the plex projects we're pushing toward DP submission in the next month

"When that many people come together, I'm going to listen to them. So I won't be supporting this," a Port Coquitlam councillor said, before voting to reject a daycare. In total, nine (9) members of the public showed up to oppose the daycare, and they successfully defeated it.

The MultiPlex report was passed by the @CityofVancouver. Next step is legal enactment next month and then accepting applications in Dec/Jan.
@alexbozikovic Why on earth in 2023 are they showing inaccessible townhouse with stairs that are dangerous to everyone? And even including unneeded steps so even the ground floor is not accessible.
This aligns with my philosophy that other people should have limits on who they can sell to in order to drive affordability in the market. No me though. When I'm ready to sell there should be no restrictions, and there certainly won't be any capital gains!
Hey friends! Today we launched a new engagement process on corner stores. The City is looking for feedback on ways to support and expand the array of shops and services in residential areas. Check out the survey and share your thoughts! shapeyourcity.ca/corner-stores

Andrew jumped at the chance to get an apartment he could afford in a great neighbourhood. This place was available because we’re cracking down on short term rentals like Airbnb & VRBO. As we build more housing for the middle class, we’ll ensure homes are for people not investors.

Mme Chantal Hébert a une très grande capacité de raisonnement ce qui est rare chez nos journalistes.
@MidniteLibrary @j_mcelroy An underground lair sounds nice.
Let’s be ABUNDANTLY CLEAR about one thing: when Hardwick says “I’d encourage developers to look at existing zoned capacity” what she’s saying is: “Hands-off the single family areas; go develop in RM and C zones where the capacity is.” Yep, that’s your walkup she’s referring to.
@Lanefab I raise a Back Hand Of God to you.
Aw, how sweet. At the end of my first day back at city hall since the pandemic, I got a parking ticket. You still love me!!!! 😍
My position: it’s changed in last 10 years, as cozy detached became more exclusive, and as I realized that more neighbours can make life better. Pro-apartment, pro-rentals, pro-no profit housing next door.
It actually feels like spring at the moment. I may just park here at the @federalstorevan for a while
So, now, the pressure is great enough that feds have to get back in the game. But it's at a dribble. Still not the kind of housing-incentive programs that were around in the 1970s. Still no GST exemption for apartment buildings. Still not much in direct funding for social, co-ops

Quinn talking about how electric cars get so much media attention when it’s transit, walking, etc that are the real workhorses. And, he points out, there is not enough road space in the region for both transit snd current levels of car driving.

My wife and I share one car and live in a walkable neighborhood. I literally don’t even know the price of gas on any given day. I couldn’t tell you with any certainty if it’s $2.78 or 4.79. Some of you need to get a life.
