There are a ton of illegal suites in the lower mainland. A buddy of mine rented a place in east Surrey, near the Langley border. There was a family in the basement, another family in the main floors, and another family living in the coach house above the garage. I'm pretty sure that they exceeded the square footage capacity for the tiny lot. But the streets are littered with far more cars than a standard single family home should have.
