More small-scale, multi-unit homes coming to B.C., zoning barriers removed
The Province is introducing new housing legislation to deliver more small-scale, multi-unit housing for people, including townhomes, triplexes and laneway homes, and fix outdated zoning rules to help build more homes faster.

“Anyone looking for a place to live in a community they love knows how hard it is – and outdated zoning rules are making that even harder,” said Premier David Eby. “Constructing mostly high-rise condo towers or single-family homes means B.C. isn’t building enough small-scale multi-unit homes that fit into existing neighbourhoods and give people more housing options that are within reach. That’s why we’re taking action to fix zoning problems and deliver more homes for people, faster.”
... All fantastic half-assed measures to ensure someone fiddles while Rome burns.
Enough playing at solving the issue. The only zoning should be high-density mixed-use. The era of matchstick firetraps and greenspace hoarding is over.
