Not to put words in pg’s mouth but three observations about American homes historically: * they assume at least one person heavily involved in food preparation * they assume relatively constant occupation during the day * they assume some use as a private public space

The problem is that zoning codes are also in denial. There are a lot of older housing forms that have been outlawed.

I would love to see innovation in both low-density housing (farmhouses, suburbs) and high-density (apartments). Vancouver is doing a great job at building enough of the latter, but not enough to change their insides IMO. cc:

Vancouver isn't building anywhere near enough high density. There are stations in the middle the largest mass transit line in the city which after 30 years are completely surrounded by detached single family homes.
