Can I ask why it was correct at that moment and context? I don't know the context.

You can play around on the platform if you're ever interested, it's free and kind of fun.

The long floorplate example image is supposed to show how the panelized construction model can be seismically compliant (big concern given newest BCBC).

You and I both know that SES buildings could be more efficient on small lots, so that's on the next iteration roadmap.

Also worth noting that the long rectangular DL corridor building isn't what they're necessarily hoping to build using DASH. The platform is intended to make use of efficient layouts on land plots, so you'll see Ls and Hs and etc. Still DL, but not that long long corridor.

No worries at all! You raised a valid point, just wanted to offer a wee bit of hope. It's a very interesting project.

They intend to have a single stair blueprint ready in the next phase. The current phase of blueprints was designed to meet BC Housing design guidelines for supportive and subsidized housing, which add a lot of requirements overhead.

They do plan to have single stair blueprints ready soon in their next phase. It's a really interesting project.

This is really exciting, William. Looking forward to see where this goes!

If you reduce lanes to fit a bike lane, not permitted. If you reduce parking to fit a bike lane, not permitted.

It's likely a law related to conclusivity.

We've had digital versions of laws up here for decades, but the "conclusive" ones are on paper and any time you needed to file a copy of the law in court or whatever you had to buy a printed copy, even if the judge just looked online.

I still find myself wishing for a rebel mayor.
