Unbelievable day for Vancouver: Unanimous passing of an as of right, 6 story, Single Stair building code amendment, *with the blessing of the Fire Department*. As a counsellor said- “Why can’t we have interesting buildings on smaller lots? Once you see it You can’t unsee it.”

Can’t wait to go visit, but my opinion after seeing this photo is still urbanism>>>architecture.
Japan is often cited as proof that architecture doesn't matter, only urbanism. Having just come back, if anything I think it's proof that it *does* matter, because I walked along many streets thinking "if only the buildings were nicer this would be a beautiful street." Thoughts?
