Great morning hosting a @SmallHousing walking tour of hidden gentle density gems in Kitsilano, with over 40 municipalities from across British Columbia (& some visitors from the States!) joining us 🏠 #GenDenSummit

[Small Housing @SmallHousing]

It may be a new year, but we still have the same goal: deliver gentle density homes that people want, need and deserve 🏘️

Join us at #GenDenSummit to explore how you can play a central role in increasing housing supply in communities all over BC - https://t.co/pQudUWY6jm @_PIBC

"Having property tax rates that automatically fall in response to rising property values is standard policy in Canada, but there’s no reason it should be in an era of ballooning property wealth."

When it comes to achieving better cities for people, a BIG challenge is how little space we have for public life, given the space we’ve surrendered to cars. Barcelona’s “superblocks” show what we can fit if we took some space back. Video by @modacitylife

Strata titling is just one means of delivering creative, smaller-scale homes that can unlock doors to attainable housing. But why don't we see more of this emerging in our towns and cities?

We’ve teamed up with @uytaelee to find out - https://t.co/Vz3NidjeT7

🚨 building new housing is good for rents, more studies show 🚨https://t.co/eWf4wKH4f0

As a co-founder more than
a decade ago of @SmallHousing BC I am inspired by @petemcmartin with his hope for a shift to smaller forms of housing. https://t.co/c7mjlK4iCE #housing #smallhousing #urbanism #urbandevelopment #housesize

Are cities actually legalizing missing middle housing or just paying lip service to it?

New video out now :)

[Small Housing @SmallHousing]

Simply allowing for gentle density forms of housing doesn't mean that they will automatically get built.

We're so excited to have worked with @uytaelee on this important video that explores how we can overcome the barriers to getting attainable homes built 🏘️

[David Sisk @DavidSisk93]

More and more cities are legalising missing middle housing, but despite the many benefits these homes offer, are struggling to see them get built. Why? 🏘️

My colleagues and I at @SmallHousing look to answer that very question with the help of @uytaelee...

Stay tuned! 🎥🍿

[About Here @aboutherevideos]

The mystery continues tomorrow...

[Small Housing @SmallHousing]

Why is the missing middle still missing?!

We're excited to have teamed up with @uytaelee & the @aboutherevideos team to explore some of the obstacles that have hindered missing middle housing emerging, and highlight some pragmatic solutions that can rectify this 🏘️

Stay tuned!

"As reported by The Globe and Mail, residents spent a total of $181 million at curbside patios within 13 weeks of summer in 2021. If those spaces had remained dedicated to parking, only $3.7 million would have been reaped during the same time period."

Another important step in delivering the housing that people want, need and deserve! 🏘️

We were delighted to share our views in the @BCGovNews press release marking this announcement - check it out here ⤵️https://t.co/5LawCEhIYX

[GRIDS Vancouver @GRIDSVancouver]

drawing an 800m line from Commercial-Broadway station... OMG did the province really just upzone all this suburbia!?!

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

BREAKING & HUGE: The British Columbia Govt has announced they’ll be ending Public Hearings for housing rezonings that conform with city-wide plans. They’ll also be over-riding municipal zoning to allow up to 4 homes per lot, and 6 near transit, across BC. https://t.co/O5FXSlZFAy

@sweeney_aidan Both matches were ridiculous blowouts (8-1, 16-41 respectively) so I’m going to withhold full judgement until I see an actual half-decent game…
