Its the exact same thing here in Vancouver, there are even protests because someone is going to tear down a small house that fits one family and build a bigger house on the same property that fits multiple families.<p>We have a low interest rate fuelled asset bubble and 1%&#x27;ers  are complaining that they can&#x27;t afford detached housing in Vancouver, never realizing that if everyone in Vancouver live in detached housing we&#x27;d need 150% of the available land in Vancouver (like no roads, offices, parks, pools, etc just detached housing)<p>It&#x27;s stupid to expect to be able to live in detached housing in a world class city. The other thing is that Vancouver isn&#x27;t really a &#x27;city&#x27; in the way that many others are, the &#x27;burbs are separate cities so we get this &#x27;most unaffordable&#x27; label when its really much better than many other cities.
