EcoDensity

Exciting things are happening in Vancouver! I'm taking a look at the Vancouver EcoDensity Planning Initiative and getting all hot under the collar over the changes that are going to occur in the coming years. They're looking at things like removing barriers to laneway housing to increase the population density. Hopefully, this will also increase access to affordable housing, not to mention changing the way people look at the tiny home lifestyle.

Also, Patric just emailed a few of us this article about American preferences in lifestyle. It's a little frustrating to hear that people are unhappy to live in cities, but at the same time I think that it represents a design opportunity.
