BC, Vancouver’s province, has legislated the end of single family zoning as of summer this year. Vancouver specifically is allowing up to, if I recall correctly, 6 units per lot. BC is also giving a forgivable loan to homeowners to build additional units/housing on their lots.
I think it’s a positive step, and aggressive as far as housing policy goes. The local governments are scrambling around infrastructure, transit, and parking issues.
Maybe if they’d started addressing it 10 years ago though it wouldn’t be such a scramble.
Goss added: “There was probably some really, really important information in these documents.”
When asked by a reporter if the black ink was meant to intentionally obscure, Goss countered, “Good God, why?”
Goss lamented the fact that the public will probably never know the particulars of such historic events as the Cold War, the civil-rights movement, or the growth of the international drug trade.
“I’m sure the CIA played major roles in all these things,” Goss said. “But now we’ll never know for sure.”
