The UBC Endowment Lands are being rezoned under the new housing density plan by the BC government, so change is coming. I still remember when laneway homes were approved in Vancouver - every builder on the east and south sides was building them. Head over to Point Grey, and there were none because residents didn't want rentals or to cheapen the area. The same was true with duplexes, but now every other home getting built in Point Grey is a duplex. It takes a little longer for things to change on the west side but change does come.

Also, the days of having a very small minority of very wealthy homeowners making decisions at city hall are slowly evaporating. No political party is going to side with the rich when it comes to housing decisions. It's political suicide.
