Description

A new report by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) says Vancouver saw a decline in the construction of multiplexes and townhomes in recent years, compared to other major Canadian cities. The report calls this type of housing the "missing middle," referring to middle-density housing that includes townhouses, row homes and low-rise apartments. CMHC deputy chief economist Tania Bourassa-Ochoa joins the show to break down the report. Former Vancouver city councillor Gordon Price joins the show as we ask viewers if they feel more middle density housing is needed in their community.
