As a non-profit housing CEO, here's why the Social Housing Initiative mattered. It offered a real pathway to build homes for our neighbours in need, without half a million dollars in paperwork. Without 8-12 months of unnecessary delays for projects Council never rejects anyway.

Interesting new working paper that studies chains of movers after the construction of a new apartment building in Honolulu.
Paper finds that the project resulted in the opening up other, lower cost, housing on the island, benefiting the housing market overall.

Tonight, Burnaby City Council is considering a motion to reduce the amount of housing you can build, and to increase the amount of parking you must build.
I turned on the hearing to hear the owner of a $2M home describe her "horror" at a laneway home next door— a "monstrosity" she called it.

What I am most struck by is that ALL of my favourite buildings in Vancouver's residential neighbourhoods are ~4-6 storey apartments! Beautiful - I wish we would embrace heritage zoning laws!

Neighborhood-scale apartment buildings like these in Fairview have been all but illegal to build in #VancouverBC for nearly a century.

To people looking for a home today, writes @dannyoleksiuk.bsky.social, it matters a great deal whether that home is built next year, or in ten. Re-legalizing small apartment buildings throughout our cities would create more homes faster. www.sightline.org/2025/10/28/t...

i have about two million followers across three platforms. statistically, about 20,000 of you are in the top 1% in terms of wealth. if any of you feel like leaving me your home in a walkable neighborhood when you die, that would make for a very heartwarming social media story.

Here's a consolidated thread with some of our more recent #SingleStair explorations.
We've been doing these with the aim to influence vancouver zoning and building code deliberations, and because we want to understand what the potential is.
First up: 33x122 lots, 4 and 5 storey, fronting a park

Please join me in voting for Vancouver's worst intersection: Main and 7th.
I lived above this intersection, breathing tire dust and dodging rams, for 5 years. There is an incredible assortment of small businesses and a thriving community here, but the intersection is awful.
