The 'uglification' of Metro Vancouver quickens with mass upzoning

Summary

70% Informative

Advocates of higher density housing in Metro Vancouver often challenge opponents by demanding they look at how the West End , with its scores of residential highrises, has turned out pretty well.

The West End is also a pretty attractive place because most of the towers there fit into the neighbourhood.

Tens of thousands of West End renters and condo owners are the beneficiaries of enlightened city policies that go back 20 to 50 years — when politicians were more demanding of property developers.

Douglas Todd: In Vancouver , unhappily, it's all about the price of dirt.

The escalating uglification dynamic in Vancouver has led to fast-rising property taxes.

Condon says Vancouver councillors and the B.C. government “have forgotten the time when development more than paid its way’.
