General Infill Discussion

Most new infill are apartments. While row houses and basement suites are nice, they actually make up a very small proportion of new infill.

Was perusing Google Maps when I noticed this interesting apartment development in Abbottsfield on what used to be parking lots. I suspect that this is another one of those developments that was only possible thanks to the removal of parking minimums. All-in-all, another win for more housing.

Yup, I was by there the other day - not my choice...but the entire lot of what used to be called "Abbotsfield Mall" could use a nice clean bulldozing with another dozen of these front and center.....

Opinion: Lowering Canada’s high housing costs is also a recipe for raising our notoriously low productivity

Highly restrictive zoning in economically dynamic places not only raises housing prices there, it leads to lower economic output nationwide

I know a bit about this one, it was in the works before the parking minimums were removed and has a few levels of underground parkade under the whole project. I think it still meets the old parking minimums.
