How does the new City Council plan to address housing affordability and homelessness in Vancouver?

A big challenge for Mayor Stewart and his new council will be to find ways to address housing affordability and homelessness in Vancouver. One solution the Mayor is exploring is an increase in the number of laneway houses - these are homes that are built at the back of existing residential properties, and which face onto the laneway.

We’re joined on the show by Jake Fry, who started a company called Smallworks in 2005 and who has become a strong advocate for laneway housing.
