Vancouver is separated from the rest of the province by the Fraser river to the south-east, and regional development policy for about 30 years has been fashioned to make it difficult for anyone to live south of the Fraser.<p>If we put more bridges across the Fraser and built more highways, I think most of this problem would go away on its own.
