Doug Langford will build you a new single-family home on your big 50-by-100-foot lot in South Vancouver.

But that doesn’t mean he likes it.

“The fact that the city of Vancouver still allows a permit for a single family home in the city, is crazy,” said Langford, the co-owner of JDL Homes.

Owners of a laneway house in North Vancouver are wanting it gone – and they’re giving it away for free.

The 843-square-foot craftsman style coach house is five years old has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room, kitchen, and garage.

The homeowners just need the prospective owner to pay for moving costs, which could reach as high as $100,000.
