To tackle the housing crisis, the Province implemented a series of legislative changes in the fall of 2023 with Bills 44 and 47. These change municipal zoning to permit small-scale multi-unit housing and increase density in transit-oriented development areas, ensuring more people can access homes within their familiar communities.
James and Denny go over the new changes and discuss how they will affect different communities across the Lower Mainland in varying ways.
This episode will focus on housing density and plans to address the issue, certain cities asking for exclusions, 3-4 plexes on single-family home lots, Skytrain/ transit proximity rules, bringing density to Shaughnessy and West Van, changing floor space ratios, and future predictions.
