Coquitlam, BC
BC's new housing rules are forcing Coquitlam to allow more density. Most single-family lots can now have up to four units. Areas near SkyTrain stations must allow buildings up to 20 storeys. The city is updating its zoning and figuring out how to...
Why This Matters: Own a single-family home in Coquitlam? Your neighbour could soon build a fourplex next door. Live near a SkyTrain station? Expect taller buildings. The city warns property taxes might go up to pay for parks and rec centres that developers used to fund.

Victoria, BC
Victoria is rethinking how much parking new buildings need to provide. Right now, developers must build a set number of parking spots. The city wants to update these rules to support more affordable housing and better manage curb space for bikes...
Why This Matters: Building parking is expensive—and those costs get passed on to renters and buyers. Fewer required spots could mean cheaper housing. If you drive, you might worry about finding street parking. If you bike or take transit, you might benefit from more curb space for those uses.
