Infills are a big thing and a hot ticket. I am fully supportive of them and wish there was more.
Although, I said that I don't think
suburban buyers want grid streets and back lanes.
I love neighbourhoods like Wolseley and River Heights but I have to admit I personally hated having a back lane.
Generally unappealing to look at, terrible in winter and spring with snow clearing and thaw, and I never liked the fact that people have access to my back yard from a dark back lane.
Of note - we had a newer paved concrete back lane compared to some which are in third world shape.
