Dear Neighbour,

Please find attached an article I just wrote regarding the negative impact of Laneway Housing in the City of Vancouver.  I am hoping to attract the attention of the media since many residents are very concerned that City Hall has essentially rezoned all single-family neighbourhoods to allow up to 4 families to reside on a single family lot. This has been surprisingly enacted without a  pilot project, adequate consultation, sufficient impact studies or fully informing residents of the implications. I believe that most residents in Vancouver are unaware of how they may be personally affected. To date, almost 100 such Building Permit Applications have been approved in a very short period of time and Laneway Housing is currently being built throughout the City of Vancouver.

The Impact of Laneway Housing

Sincerely

Peter Selnar
