Parking an issue in Metro Vancouver because there are more people here and people feel that they need to own more than 1 vehicle. There aren't enough homes to house poeple, so people are renting basement suites and laneway homes.
With respect to Brentwood and Lougheed, Mayor Corrigan has been on the record as saying that they allowed high density in those areas so that low density, detached neighbourhoods could be preserved with minimal increases in property taxes. People who live in condos tend to be younger, transient, and less likely to vote in city elections, so he and his council made the politically sound choice. Obviously, people who use those corridors suffer.
