Dear Editor,
I love living in 91原创 with my small (but growing) family.
I am concerned, however, about the future of affordable housing and the opportunities that my own children will have to call 91原创 home.

Recently, I was reading about the initiative in Vancouver to allow for small-scale, multi-family housing to be built on a standard single-family lot (see ).
I have also visited the Higgins family鈥檚 project in Delta, in which four townhouse units were built on a single-family lot, which now means that four generations (grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren) live comfortably, independently, but with a strong sense of closeness and community.
My question is: when will this become a priority in 91原创?

In order to make this possible, our local government needs to make adjustments to our zoning bylaws, neighbourhood, and community plans.
We need more options and have to act now to make this amazing place to live affordable for our children.
