I like this comment from Gordon Price out of the Vancouver Sun article: |
Let's see if we can increase the density of Vancouver by implementing such strategies, would love to see doubling of numbers in skytrain station nodes, and neighbourhood centres such as Commercial/Broadway area, Kerrisdale and Oakridge mall.
Love this from Gordon Price too:
But Price believes it has taken the city “way, way too long” for both the densification of single-family neighbourhoods and the release of such a comprehensive housing strategy.
