It’s good to see development finally progressing on the #LittleMountain site. The fact that this site has been underdeveloped for so long is just one example of the #Vancouverhousingcrisis. https://t.co/YH4QjwskQM

There are many small steps that can be taken to #createcommunity in a #multifamilyhousing setup. These are just a few examples. https://t.co/V5rhsOhCyU

#Coliving and #sharedliving is a great way to make housing more #affordable and has the potential for #community development through shared amenities, mutual support, and common space. How far can this concept be taken, though, before it becomes dystopian? https://t.co/9rXkUrebLl

If you look for it, #coliving has been around even in popular culture for a while now. This article explores the benefits of coliving, #intergenerational living, and #cohousing. https://t.co/lvnZ80ZzzU

Will our newly elected municipal governments make a lasting impact on the #affordablehousingcrisis? There is more to #Vancouverhousingcrisis than how many new units are built. See our recent post for related issues to consider. https://t.co/pK0bAP74Xc

Recent research highlights that #affordablehousing and #housingsupply aren’t the only metrics to consider when discussing the impact of the #Vancouverhousingcrisis. https://t.co/a7uegarOu7

#Housingjustice is deeply connected to #racialjustice. Although this article is based in the US, the same issues absolutely apply here in Canada. https://t.co/ipQayA4yuz

A new #cohousing development is coming to our neighbours in Coquitlam. More variety in housing options like could help address the #vancouverhousingcrisis. If only more nonprofits were creating CoHousing, to offer both #affordablehousing and #community. https://t.co/PkK3xnmweQ

In our own neighbourhood, the development of the Safeway site at Commercial and Broadway has been deeply contentious. It looks like this #Vancouverhousing decision is being postponed until December, after the municipal election. https://t.co/JUYH8V7Nog

A short but lovely and bittersweet story about immigrating away from your “village” only to build a new one, the power of #community connection, and the wisdom of #intergenerational #cohousing. https://t.co/1UK8s1Wn6p

Beautiful things can happen when you stop and connect with your #neighbours. https://t.co/PO6cmh7x5e

According to a report from @CMHC_ca #BC needs significantly more #affordablehousing units than was previously estimated. Time to start empowering the creation of #nonprofithousing, #coophousing, and #cohousing options! https://t.co/RLiUgna3az

As @JennyKwanBC says, #housingisahumanright, not a commodity to profit from. https://t.co/c9MvQqSYdk

A winner has been chosen in a #cohousing designing contest we posted about last month. Check out the design, which offers #cohousing in rural areas. https://t.co/yzeKW4kEgv

One factor that is slowing the creation of more #affordablehousing in the #Vancouverhousing market is the dramatic rise in construction costs. https://t.co/HHmcalqSwG

Another look at #Vancouverhousing ‘s #Broadwayplan. How to ensure #affordablehousing is actually a part of the future of the #Broadwaysubway? https://t.co/EY0iJyOrNU

This author reflects on the question of what are the necessary elements we crave in #intentionalcommunity, and how can #community be approached in an #aspirational yet #realistic and #sustainable way? https://t.co/Q75OCytyIW
