We received this beautiful gift basket at our front door one evening last week. It was a wonderful Christmas surprise from a good friend!
I was speaking to a cousin in Vancouver before Christmas when she mentioned that Vancouver permits affordable laneway housing suites. These are small suites atop the garage or at the rear of the property. Of course you have to apply and wait for a permit. However, it can solve the affordable housing problem for some and is an alternative to living in a condo. Laneway housing is not permitted in Toronto currently.
Well, I thought that was interesting as I hadn't heard of this concept.

What a wonderful gift basket, enjoy. That sounds like a great idea with building add ons to solve housing problems. Hugs, Valerie
Wasn't that a lovely surprise Christine. I love those gifts, something for everyone in it.
We call your Laneway housing "Granny Flats" and it is quite easy to get a permit to build one in Australia.
All the best for 2017.....won't be long now!

There are some interesting choices in affordable housing these days. Some people have taken to living in shipping containers. Apparently they're actually pretty comfortable.
that is a lovely present, congrats on getting it!
More cities here in California are allowing granny flats and inlaw units. A few of the housing contractors are even building homes with these already included. The "small house" movement is making inroads in Fresno with city council allowing these in people's backyards. Housing is prohibitive for so many or in other places, there just isn't enough low-cost housing.
What a lovely gift basket! Affordable housing is definitely important.
That looks a very nice gift ...
I think most countries could do with more affordable housing ...
All the best Jan
