Goal 4: Develop Complete Communities GOAL 4: DEVELOP COMPLETE COMMUNITIES The challenge How do we measure performance? Complete and healthy communities have diverse housing options and access to a wide range of goods, services and community amenities - shops, recreation and cultural Dwelling Units by type, tenure and activities, employment opportunities, and a safe and attractive public realm . Providing price affordable and appropriate housing for the region’s population at various stages of their lives is an ongoing challenge and requires careful planning at the local scale, supported by sustainable regional land use and transportation planning . Affordable and supportive housing development and availability The Metro 2040 vision Incidence of core housing need The region in 2040 will be comprised of ‘complete communities’ supported by regional employment distribution and good access to services and amenities . These communities will incorporate a range of housing choices suitable for residents at all stages of their lives Access to amenities and services and designed to support walking, cycling, and transit, and will foster healthy lifestyles . Are we achieving the intent of Goal 4? Although housing supply in the region continues to grow, affordability remains a significant challenge because of high housing costs and comparably lower incomes than other metropolitan regions in Canada . A third of households in the region spend more than 30% of household income on shelter . The region’s housing stock remains about 60% ground-oriented and 40% apartment based, although apartment units comprised 50% of recent growth . The tenure of recent housing growth was consistent with existing baselines with about two-thirds of housing units owner-occupied and one-third renter-occupied . Several municipalities have developed Housing Action Plans for the first time; others are underway or being updated. Tools and measures to address housing affordability and diversity are being explored across the region . Good employment distribution and diverse transportation options contribute to ‘complete communities’ (see Goals 2 and 5), but other measures for the health and livability of the region’s communities need to be considered . 96 Progress toward Shaping our Future STRATEGIES STRATEGY 4.1 PROVIDE DIVERSE AND STRATEGY 4.2 DEVELOP HEALTHY AFFORDABLE HOUSING CHOICES AND COMPLETE COMMUNITIES WITH ACCESS TO A RANGE OF SERVICES AND Supporting the strategies and actions in the AMENITIES Metro Vancouver Affordable Housing Strategy to ensure there is an adequate supply of Designing communities to include a range housing to meet future demand . of facilities, services and amenities, with emphasis on a healthy environment and mobility .

  • News Release for IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Home prices remain steady, buyers and sellers become more comfortable operating in today’s market VANCOUVER, BC – June 2, 2020 – Metro Vancouver* home prices have remained steady since provincial health officials implemented physical distancing requirements in March. The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reports that the MLS® Home Price Index1 composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver today is $1,028,400. This is virtually unchanged from April 2020, a 1.4 per cent increase over the last three months, and a 2.9 per cent increase compared to May 2019. "Home prices have been stable during the COVID-19 period," Colette Gerber, REBGV Chair said. "While we’re seeing a variety of long-term projections for the market, it's critical to understand the facts and trends as they emerge." Residential home sales in the region totalled 1,485 in May 2020, a 43.7 per cent decrease from the 2,638 sales recorded in May 2019 and a 33.9 per cent increase from the 1,109 homes sold in April 2020. Last month’s sales were 54.4 per cent below the 10-year May sales average. "Home sale and listing activity is down compared to typical, long-term levels and up compared to the activity we saw in April 2020," Gerber said. "Home buyers and sellers are adapting today, becoming more comfortable operating with the physical distancing requirements that are in place in the market." There were 3,684 detached, attached and apartment properties newly listed for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in Metro Vancouver in May 2020.

February 16, 2016 Alexander Cameron - Richmond, British Columbia This bridge seems like a unnecessarily expensive replacement that will keeps more cars on the road and encourage traffic build up over the next few years, negating it's improvement, when our transit system would benefit from this money so much more and the economic impact for the region would be hugely beneficial for years to come. More so than improving the import ability of the Fraser river. I believe retrofitting the bridge would be more than enough to keep it in shape and leave our public infrastructure funding to go towards more impactful in terms of not only the environment but economy and quality of life too.
