I support legalizing 4plexes, 6plexes (& rental!)

Right now 800+ detached homes/year get demolished & replaced by new single-detached homes.

“Making HOME” won’t fix housing (we need a lot more non-market housing) but zoning for mansions is https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht">.

So I will support the idea ANDhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏾" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

(Land Value Capture would behttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">but for now inclusionary zoning and/or fixed CAC directed toward affordable housing are better than nothing) 2/ https://vancouversun.com/opinion/op-ed/christine-boyle-and-brandon-yan-a-land-value-capture-tax-allows-us-to-dream-big">https://vancouversun.com/opinion/o...
