I think it's good when cities are legal, and I work at Sightline Institute to make that happen. My takes on here, though, are no less than 100% mine.

Matt have you published a case study of this building?
I think it would be helpful for people to see the basic specs, like FAR, lot coverage, setbacks etc.
Because any middle housing zoning should allow this building at minimum.

In Vancouver a big chunk of the city's rentals are condos, right @jensvb.bsky.social? Any reason condo HOAs don't limit rentals more like they do in the US?

Thanks.
For a cap, I guess it would have to be first come first serve for people choosing to rent out their units, and it would cut off when the next rental would put the building over 50%. Nothing wrong with that I suppose.

Do you know of any data on the prevalence of owner-occupancy requirements in condos?
