Laneway Housing


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.
