And the zoning code itself is in many cases highly discretionary. And that's just CoV, each city in Metro Vancouver adds their own zoning code. This is no way to run a city or region.
If a provincial government was so inclined to cut down on planning regulations an easy peasy way to do that would be to limit municipalities to about 12 to 16 zones max and only 3 zones for any specific use. E.g. 3 residential zones, 3 mixed-use zones, 3 commercial zones, and so…

The obsession with rail transit like streetcars as an image-centric class preference to buses is contrasted sharply by the reality that it's far more expensive to build than bus infra, more expensive to run (which sometimes wags frequency), and by default, it's even slower too.
reliably frequent and noticeably faster than the streetcar operation, and that really highlighted something important about these modes. if you can't treat streetcars with priority measures and remove conflicts that slow them down, they are a worse experience than a bus /6
New post TL;DR: @LausterNa and I estimate that planning decisions preventing recent apartment buildings in YVR from being 20% taller are resulting in an annual redistribution of half a billion dollars from renters to existing landlords via higher rents. doodles.mountainmath.ca/blog/2024/04/1…
@aboutherevideos Thanks for all the cool content! It's so great to be able to be informed about local stuff and your work makes that possible
🚨 Important info for advocates of [decommodify housing] 🚨 It does not mean "make housing not a commodity". Commodities are highly-fungible & homeogeneous goods, usually raw materials. Housing is already not a commodity: it's highly differentiated by quality, size, location,…
I've seen this 40 times now on different platforms (and it's funny every time lol) so I guess it's time for my seasonal reminder that y'all should follow @aboutherevideos ! They're short, easy-to-understand vids about local housing, history, transit, etc. (🧵 below)
We got tired of waiting for our local leaders to act 😴 So we're introducing our new pedestrian safety pilot: BRICKS (TM)! 🧱 Thanks to @nicthedoor & @aboutherevideos for creating this video for us!
Watch as Connor explains how Vancouver’s 45,000 catch basins - once our first line of flood defense - now partner with 300+ green infrastructures. These GRIs absorb rain, aiding sewers and saving costs. Learn more about GRI ➡️ ow.ly/OEJZ50R9yei
