There is plenty of marginal non ALRT land on the north shore of the Fraser for vast tracts of modular factory build homes on serviced lots at $50K for a new 1000  sq foot 3 bdrm, along with a nice LRT line to bring the folks into town. Mandatory telecommuting and 3 day work weeks throughout the province would solve all transportation needs.

Urban family housing is easily resolved with the replacement of a east van blocks with factory built 6 story  wood frame apartments at $70K per pop - see China's broad group for a how to.

The $10B presently totally wasted on the Site C dam would finance all the accommodation needed, which unlike the dead loss of Site C, would pay for itself with rentals and rent to own.

Lots of single family homes would be left for Chinese investors, eager to return all the $trillions we sent their way with our Walmart purchase. A hefty tax on sales over $1 million would help finance our new public housing.

Only corrupt politicians stand in the way.
