<i>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.</i><p>This is new - has the owner said that multiple families will live in that house?<p><i>It&#x27;s stupid to expect to be able to live in detached housing in a world class city</i><p>Since when did Vancouver become a <i>world class city</i>? I don&#x27;t mean that to be cruel; I live here myself. But Vancouver has neither the culture nor the power nor the money to be considered <i>world class</i>. The people are poor, the economy has a paucity of opportunities, and now the housing really is only marginally affordable, even if you go out somewhere crazy far like White Rock.
