What gets me is the 4 story version is pretty much an answer to many lower mainland NIMBYs criticisms; massing is similar to existing SFH, provides family sized units, and provides relatively high parking ratios, but it seems so far away from actually getting the support of NIMBYs and councils.

Yeah - that’s why we need the provincial overrides.

As a single family house owner, I'd welcome these on my block over the larger 3 storey townhouse complexes that are being built on my block. This leaves more open yard/ green space/ light than the TH projects that have concrete courtyards with minimal plants that are never used.

AI rendered version. Can't seem to get rid of the all brick single fam houses, but the craftsman ones rendered pretty well.
