BC has now: ✅ Legalized apts near transit ✅ Begun re-legalizing top quality 1-stair floorplans ✅ Legalized fire-resistive mass timber up to 18 stories All on top of North America's largest fully automated metro. This is our continent's highest-performing government today

I love Portland and love living here, but let's not kid ourselves. We built transit to create a feel of European urbanism that appealed to developers and leaders at the time. Vancouver built (and is building) transit to liberate and transform the entire region. 3/
