Population and Housing

[ijmorlan]

I realize that this is very idealistic and not a scalable long-term solution compared to ripping out old homes in favour of mid-rise developments. But the house we bought is in a neighbourhood that likely will never experience a zoning change to permit those kinds of builds. And to be perfectly clear, I'm an advocate for allowing mid-rise buildings in my neighbourhood - I'd be very happy to see all of my neighbours turn into 3-storey walkups!

As long as fundamentalist accessabilitarians don’t prevent the construction of such housing! I’m pretty sure we had a discussion here where somebody said that both units of a duplex should be required to be accessible…I’m hoping I was misunderstanding them.
