BC Hopes a New Design Catalogue Will Boost ‘Gentle Density’

On CKNW in May, Conservative Party of BC Leader John Rustad said the province was “taking away the democratic right and the democratic vote” and that he would repeal the NDP’s housing reforms if elected.

BC is going to look very, very different in five years depending on who wins the next election.
There are some variations which is nice, but I can’t help but to wonder if this is going to set trend for a whole new generation of Vancouver Special.
- As long as there aren't problems with the designs, is that a problem?
  
  To get costs down there can only be so much variation.
  
  I don’t think it is a “problem”, but it gets really boring / bleak when every single house looks identical to one another.
  
  Also, I’m still more inclined to introduce additional townhouses as well as low / mid rises to increase the density, as opposed to these detached designs.
