The Squamish Nation’s Impossibly Simple Solution to Vancouver’s Housing Crisis
About this episode
The episode discusses the Squamish Nation's approach to addressing Vancouver's housing crisis through unique zoning advantages.
In parts of Vancouver, zoning regulations have historically limited the height and density of new buildings, often to single-family homes with a yard. Reserves though, are not bound by these regulations. Lori Wilson reads The Squamish Nation’s Impossibly Simple Solution to Vancouver’s Housing Crisis by Alex Mayyasi
