Going from 2 (often 3) to 1 car and saving a net of $400-600 a month goes a long way towards bridging that gap.

Again, not for everyone, but far more than people think. That said, we continue to have the 'fortune' of choice versus many larger cities where SFH is simply not attainable.
 
@IanO Expanding on that point, the cost of even providing parking has a huge detrimental effect on building costs, and therefore affordability. Which is why I was very happy to see open option parking pass Council, while also putting caps on how much parking can be provided within TOD areas.
 
As with the neighbouring site, not much has changed in the last year (the only home they've demolished was done last February). The old Hurtig Residence has been converted into the Westrich Site Office though:

According to the city notice I received in the mail on this one, it just says "limited commercial opportunities at grade".

Not sure if that means there likely won't be any commercial for this development.

It is close to Jasper Avenue, so that is an issue, but there is a lot of residential south of Jasper Ave in that area and looks like density will continue to increase so perhaps it could support more. It could be a good spot for a neighbourhood cafe.

True that it's pretty close to Jasper ave, but if you live say south of 100 ave and west of 112 street, you're at least 3-4 blocks away from any kind of amenities. That's not a huge distance to overcome for some, but having a few retail spots along 100 avenue will shorten that distance and and make the area more walkable and liveable. I believe there is enough density to support retail on both Jasper and 100 ave

Agreed on all accounts. Having a cafe, a bakery, maybe a small convenience store wouldn't hurt, especially dirng winter, when a 3/4 blocks walk can be very cumbersome, at times.
