Thanks for the link Bill. Michael’s analysis is very good as usual.

One radical thought.
Rather than allocate specific housing to the chosen categories, why not pass a bylaw that provides property tax exemptions to service providers that actually live in Vancouver.
This might be a far better cost/benefit equation.
Thoughts?
