Vancouver should prohibit new single-family home construction

Metro News interviewed Nathanael Lauster, a UBC sociology professor, and Thomas Davidoff, an economics professor at UBC Sauder School of Business, for an article about single-family home construction in Vancouver.

Both Lauster and Davidoff believe zoning laws in the city needs to change.

“What are we doing reserving so much land for millionaires?” Lauster said recently.

Davidoff has argued for townhouses throughout the city and believes that zoning should be under the jurisdiction of the B.C. government.
