Laneway homes could help address the housing crisis but current city policies make them a risky move for homeowners. We spoke to Jake Fry, an advocate of @SmallHousing, housing minister @KahlonRav and more on whether selling laneway homes is feasible. https://t.co/Sjpxocbl0O

Looking forward to attending this & seeing what British Columbia can learn from its Californian colleagues! 🏘️ Legalizing gentle density is only the first step - we now need to focus our efforts on removing remaining barriers that stand in the way of getting these homes built 🏗️
This Friday, I will be speaking at a @CasitaCoalition webinar explaining how recent laws—SB 684—will make it easier than ever to build townhouses, small-lot homes, and small condo buildings in California. RSVP: https://t.co/prbXKY7NHY
