lol, of course the NIMBYs in West Vancouver are the only municipality to outright reject it. What a joke.

So glad to see this coming; we need to fill the missing middle in housing.

That said, I am worried about infrastructure keeping up with rising population. Swimming lessons fill up within minutes of it opening, schools are at capacity, there are no doctors for most, hospital wait times are increasingly becoming a problem, etc.

We need more investment in everything, not just housing!

The government says the District of West Vancouver — where some of B.C.’s most expensive properties are located — has rejected passing the bylaw, but it has been issued a non-compliance notice and a ministerial order could be issued.

NIMBY's will literally be the death of us, won't they?
