Victoria Watcher posted topic New Zealand to abolish single-family zoning in most cities
lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "New Zealand to abolish single-family zoning in most cities" in forum "Urban Design".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The government shocked everyone yesterday as Minister of Housing Megan Woods and Minister for the Environment David Parker held a joint press conference in the beehive theatrette with Leader of the Opposition Judith Collins and Opposition Housing Spokesperson Nicola Willis.
The only thing more surprising was what they were actually announcing: New Zealand is abolishing single family zoning.
This is unequivocally fantastic. The government's housing program, while good in many respects, has been plagued with a big hole (https://www.greaterauckland.org.nz/2021/03/24/the-housing-donut/) which this reform will go a long way to fill.
Building on top of the NPS-UD, the government will be forcing councils to allow people to build as-of-right up to three homes of up to three storeys on most sites in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington, and Christchurch. This is similar to the rules we have in Auckland currently in the Mixed Housing Urban Zone (MHU) – our second densest residential zone, which makes up about a fifth of our residential land area.

Local builder Formwell Homes unveils first townhouse project as demand for 'missing middle' homes soars in Victoria
https://victoria.citified.ca/news/washington-local-builder-formwell-homes-unveils-first-townhouse-project-as-demand-for-missing-middle-homes-soars-in-victoria/ (https://victoria.citified.ca/news/washington-local-builder-formwell-homes-unveils-first-townhouse-project-as-demand-for-missing-middle-homes-soars-in-victoria/)
Local homebuilder Formwell Homes has unveiled its first residential project as demand for 'missing middle' housing reaches an all-time high in Victoria. Formwell co-founders Sam Ganong and Kyle Ryan – no strangers to the Capital's real-estate development industry with a combined 30-years during which they helped deliver more than 800-units of single- and multi-family housing – have joined efforts on a traditionally-inspired townhome development in Victoria's Burnside Gorge community near the Selkirk Waterfront and Galloping Goose Regional Trail. Known as Washington, Formwell's introductory offering (at 3080 Washington Avenue) will deliver 34 two, three and four-bedroom townhouses to the up-and-coming neighbourhood. Ganong and Ryan started Formwell with a goal to improve the multi-family living experience through a commitment to practical human-centric design philosophies, while closely taking into account their own personal experiences raising families. Both having wor
ked extensively in residential new home development and construction, the co-founders realized a collective regard for the townhome archetype. "Living in a townhome with a growing family really shaped my passion for improving livability within townhome residences," said father of two young children, Sam Ganong. "Recognizing the opportunity this housing form provides for families, with the single-family home increasingly becoming out of reach for many, now felt like the right time to pursue the creation of more family-friendly, functional homes across the city."

Mike K. posted topic The Pandora Papers leak and Canadian off-shore tax havens
lpoutine,
Mike K. has just posted a new topic entitled "The Pandora Papers leak and Canadian off-shore tax havens" in forum "Victoria Politics".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
------------ QUOTE ----------
The offshore fortunes of prime ministers, royalty, billionaires, athletes and celebrities are being laid bare in a giant new leak of tax-haven financial records, even bigger than the Panama Papers, revealed today by a global consortium of media outlets.
The leaked files, dubbed the Pandora Papers, show 35 current or former world leaders and more than 300 other public officials around the globe who have held assets in or through tax havens. Former British prime minister Tony Blair, the current prime ministers of the Czech Republic and Kenya, and the king of Jordan have all benefited from the anonymity or tax advantages of their offshore holdings, the records reveal.
The 11.9 million files — consisting of everything from emails to bank statements, incorporation documents and shareholder registries — are from 14 firms that provide offshore services, and were leaked by a confidential source to the Washington-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. The ICIJ has provided access to the files to 150 of its partner news organizations around the world, including CBC/Radio-Canada and the Toronto Star in Canada.
So far, the CBC and the Star have identified the names of at least 500 Canadian citizens or residents in the records.
