crazy fact about Vancouver: 85% of residential land is zoned SFH

  I think the even crazier fact that explains the housing crisis is that the perception in Vancouver is that the city allows tons of new housing. If you ask residents, they'll tell you all about how much the city has changed. People are naturally conservative with respect to their immediate environment.

    Same in NYC which has been creating ~3x more jobs than homes in recent decades.

      In SF the ratio is like 7 jobs per unit of housing built, its really really bad https://sf.curbed.com/2017/7/26/16040938/san-francisco-jobs-housing-ratio-homes https://sf.curbed.com/2017/7/26/16040938/san-francisco-jobs-...
