According to CMHC we need to build 15000 - 18000 homes per year in Vancouver to catch up on housing supply. According to the city report, this proposal is expected to net 150 - 250 homes per year.

We just spent years of research, consultation, and council meetings to get us 1% of our needed supply. Our system is deeply broken and ABC are clearly not the ones to fix it.
