Ludepower is right though - there are very few places left in the Metro Vancouver where new single family homes are being built. The future is multi-family. If you want a new single family lot, you're looking at leasehold on Indian reserve or somewhere in the Abbotsford, Mission, or Chilliwack. You're never going to get politicians who will upheave the ALR.

If you look at any community plan for new subdivisions, you'll see that townhouses and apartments are the dominant housing forms. The millennials are whiny, but they are the largest group since the boomers. As we age, we're going to want more space. There aren't enough lots in Metro Vancouver to satisfy demand, foreign ownership notwithstanding.
