Why Vancouver is Getting So Unaffordable by Geraldine Santiago, Realtor In a 2017 study by Robert Schiller, 2013 Economist Nobel Laureate titled, Why Cities Are Getting So Unaffordable, Schiller studied 92 cities whereby affordability was measured by real estate prices to income ratio. Hong Kong was shown to be the least affordable with the ratio of 18.1, Sydney at 12.2 and Vancouver at 11.8. Using satellite data for major US cities, the study showed and was confirmed by... economist Albert Saiz of MIT, that ‘tighter physical constraints- such as bodies of water or land gradients that make properties unsuitable for extensive building tend to correlate with higher home prices. Vancouver’s topography is such that it is unsuitable for extensive building in these two areas--bodies of water and mountains to the north. So how do we address densification, affordability challenges in our city? Is land assembly an option?

Yet again we have had high E.Coli counts in False Creek possibly due to boaters. Housing crunch means more live-aboards. Surely there must be other housing options. (Read article below.) Vancouver's topography with land gradients of mountains in the north and bodies of water make it impossible to build on. What's the solution? The city of Vancouver has already allowed infill housing, laneway housing, secondary suites-- all to allow more density. In addition, the city of Vanco...uver's planning department is allowing a site to be considered for mid-rise forms up to a maximum of 6 storeys under the Affordable Housing Choices Interim Rezoning Policy, if a property site (land assembly collective) meets the criteria--though there is currently a limit to the number of projects being approved. Everyone wants affordable housing. Did you know that Crown lands make up 89% of land ownership in Canada? Crown land is land (or land covered by water like rivers or lakes) that is owned by the provincial government. This includes forests, parks, beaches, public swimming pools, community centres, public libraries etc. We love our parks and forests, and can't build there! So where are we going to find land to build upon, to make way for the increase in population in metro Vancouver? If Crown land is not being sold, sales from individual land owners might be the answer. Perhaps land assembly is our our hope.
