In Vancouver, the reign of the single family house must end: Author Densifying Vancouver housing for the young generation What can Vancouver learn from New York’s aggressive approach to social housing? Bryn Davidson agrees. The co-owner of Lanefab Design/Build says that while the city moved in the right direction several years ago to allow secondary suites and laneway houses on single-family lots, there is still much more that could be done. “In our duplex zones, you can build a duplex, but you’re not allowed a laneway house,” he said. “In the single family zones, you can build a laneway house but you’re not allowed to build a duplex.” In neighbourhoods zoned for single-family homes, three units (the main house, a secondary suite in the house, and a separate laneway house) are now allowed.
