温哥华理事会以邻里关注为由, 封锁了更高的社会住房, Vancouver council blocked taller social housing without rezoning, citing neighborhood concerns.

温哥华市议会拒绝了一项关于快速社会住房项目的建议,允许非营利和合作社开发商在某些地区建造多达20层的塔楼,而无需重新划区或举行公开听证会。 Vancouver city council rejected a proposal to fast-track social housing projects by allowing non-profit and co-op developers to build up to 20-storey towers in certain areas without rezoning or public hearings. 这一决定是由于对社区的特色,基础设施和公众的关注, 工作人员工作了两年, 首次支持2022年动议, 支持高达12层楼的建筑. The decision, driven by concerns over neighborhood character, infrastructure, and public input, came after two years of staff work and an initial 2022 motion supporting up to 12-storey buildings. 后来根据开发商对财务可行性的反馈,将高度限制提高到18个或20个仓库。 Height limits were later raised to 18 or 20 storeys based on developer feedback about financial viability. 包括住房倡导者在内的批评者称拒绝是解决该市住房危机的错失机会,使现状维持在589个非市场性住房地点,没有简化的前进道路。 Critics, including housing advocates, called the rejection a missed opportunity to address the city’s housing crisis, leaving the status quo unchanged with 589 non-market housing sites and no streamlined path forward.
