What would it look like to implement a wartime housing program in Metro Vancouver? 

Give Uytae his own show

Uytae has done multiple great videos and gives food for thought. He presents a concept of questioning some building codes that may be not so applicable now a days of superseded by various materials like his dual staircase discussions and opens eyes to possibilities and we really need to find more solutions that can be put into action soon. 🇨🇦

Uytae is one of Vancouver's best. Honestly nothing but top notch videos and breakdowns of issues we have, and always a positive outlook offering potential solutions.

I'd like to hear more for Uytae. Disappointed to have such a short discussion. Should have made this a podcast.

Uytae is definitely educating people he is incredible in explaining planning

CBC should give him a longer video! He knows what he is talking about!

4 minutes interview is too short of time for such a major news topic. Didn't like how he was cut off twice. Very informative and well handled by this young film maker.

Fast track this guy to the federal housing minister job!

I watched it twice! And due to the housing crisis I’m in the midst of. Shared it with my partner the next day, as it was so educational.

Hey CBC.... add the link to his video... In your description please... So people can go watch it

If the government had implemented this type of solution I wouldn't have had to relocate my family and business out of the city and province I loved so much. To have to leave behind all of my family and friends and deprive them of a close relationship with my kids was absolutely heartbreaking for us all but there was no other way.

It sounds fantastic! I love the idea of preapprived designs and strong functionality. Good functional designs have a way of becomming loved.

Really appreciated the video by Uytae. I’d like to hear more on this topic, and hopefully without the entire interview ending abruptly right in the middle

TV production rules really fall flat in the era of RU-vid and podcasts… his last thought was actually important and everyone deserved to hear it.

I appreciate his videos and analysis, but no, we can do better. The unadultered Vancouver Special is hideous on multiple fronts. Bare rear yards, paved, with chain link fencing is typically associated with them along with the removal of trees and zero landscaping creating a very sterile streetscape. They are only appreciated now because they do maximize space, they are generally sturdy, but mainly because they can be easily improved with significant modern detail and landscaping. If you must allow them, fine, but they can be vastly improved and trees and landscaping requirements will help.

What was the purpose of this video? for one, you don't even have link to his video in the description for those who haven't watched his video, it's your own CBC video for matter of fact, not his personal channel video. two, you pretty much rushed him off and he didn't really have any time for discussion, why even invite him on the show?

i feel bad for him. the flow of the interview was a disaster

I loved his video about the Vancouver special

Congratulations on building homes across Canada 🇨🇦

How does this help the cost of building materials or property costs?

Uytae Lee is great!

I mean that’s kinda silly. Unless we name the antagonist. I guess we are in wartime. Class war.

I thought they were talking about the small ones that were so prevalent in Ottawa! Were these built in Vancouver in late 1940's early 50's?

Love the Uytae fan club in the comments ❤

Not y’all cutting his time short 😒

They guy is a great videographer!

How do these go for ? Thank you.

Uytae rocks!!

Government needs to remove the $180 per sq ft development fee on all rental towers. Government needs to make it profitable for these buildings to get built.

The initial Vancouver Specials certainly did its job. it housed for fair value. pure utilitarian, maximized design. Looks subjective can't be choosy! (Definitely something Arthur Erickson wouldn't have touched haha only modify-- speaking of which, some local firms do retrofit these into westcoast cladded versions ~but $$$). In the early 90s second-gen of the VS- came the 'monster house' moniker. on a larger parcel say 50'x120, the VS mentality carried over. you could even have 8-9 small bedrooms. there was a brief time when open design wasn't as admired as it is now. soon after, monster homes got politicized for lacking character austentatious even. also a time when certain monied immigrants got into the property game. Uytae in his VS docu. actually addresses the recent reality - '..tend to want to get it done in a way that doesn't change the community too drastically'

It’s pretty amazing a story on wartime homes has an advertisement from a custom home builder ?

Why the lack of large trees?

Too many taxes on construction, property transfer tax, gst on materials, permit costs, etc. The feds will make this an overcost disaster...its what they excel in.

I thought people didnt care what places looked like already …. Those poorly built high rises with their badly fitted interiors are ugly and as cheap as hell! All for an expensive price . Also they are clones of each other . No houses will be built just tiny coffins in the sky . What about families?

Is there any way to fire this host and replace him with Uytae?

I bought a house in van for 1 million 6 years ago. I could NOT afford a vancouver special then.

Love the Vancouver special... And love the suggestion that we rekindle the pre-approved building plans. Would think a Vancouver special could be redesigned as 3 units in the basement... Bachelor tiny unit, and 2 one bedroom suites, and top floor as a single suite, and with the top floor suite able to be easily cohabittited if sublet out to individual renters

I have said this 35 years ago… build stock and basic good quality housing .. no fancy furnishing …he is noth8ng new.. use stock plans

Why not just join BRI, Forum in Beijing 140 leader's attended for cooperation in Agricultural-Poverty alleviation-STEM Healthcare-Infrastructure. Templates for all to use... CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Reporterfy-Cyrus Janssen. RT International Russia's economy booming infrastructure +++

Right now in Vancouver, you can buy a lot for $2M, build a nice house for $0.8M, plus interest and permit, the total is $3M. Or you can build a really crappy war time house for $0.3M, which will result in a total price of $2.5M. Do you see the problem here? Land is the really issue. If the federal government pass a law to develop the Stanley Park and the 5000 acres of cranberry/blueberry farms in Richmond, then we are talking about a solution.

Canadian government has to let buy properties investors pay more tax to reduce property price as these group buyer make canada property prices go up !!! Property is not stock, it is for Canadian people living, not investment tools, who use property price for them make money, they have to pay higher tax !!! As they make people home place becomes their make money tools, Canadian government have to stop this bad way asap ! Solve Canadian people no place living problem asap ! If they buy second property has to pay 50% more tax, more property they have to pay more tax to reduce property prices asap !!!

It would be the best thing ever! ! ! Who would love to pay 600k for an 800sf house with no yard! ! ! Slow 👏

It will look like Detroit 1970s as those who have no respect for property will destroy it ! Btw you can make cheap builds with huge subsidies look good!! They do it all the time now - by transit and charge you ! Who pays the difference? Who get mortgage/insurance approval ?

Seriously? You can’t even give him 5 proper minutes to talk? Why even bring him in?

Vancouver has already a blend urbanism ... wont make any different

What is with Trudeau and war?

These home would be filled with new immigrants and refugees. Canadians that have aid taxes for decades would be excluded!!!!! As always!!!

3D printed mini homes on standardized foundations. Homes could be completed in less than a day each, on average, if a whole neighborhood was being done. Then sell them only to first time homeowners or devise a way for those with lesser income to be on a path to ownership.

Bunch of overpriced junk houses, the problem is the price tag, housing should not be a commodity it should be a basic human right

Imagine being such a terrible government that you have to float wartime measures when you're not at war.

Not Kim Jong-un

Canada needs Donald Trump

The was a waste of time watching this.

its Canadian who cares

Vancouver Specials suck
