Vancouver Oks Secondary Suites in Vancouver Hirise Condos

Vancouver city council ok’s secondary suites in new Vancouver hirise condos in an effort to home affordability and to increase suites in the rental market. Think of it as a mortgage helper in your condo! Just like we have basement suites in houses.
This new addition to Vancouver condos will have to have its own bathroom and kitchen and its own entrance and can be as small as 280 sqft which could be relaxed by the Director of Planning to 205 sqft.
Vancouver City Hall expect it’ll be a year before we see the first one.
Good idea of bad? What’s your opinion?
