http://www.straight.com:80/article-102875/laneway-houses-prove-smaller-can-be-better Now all we need to do is marry the concept of laneway housing with the aforementioned highrise condo, but in such a way that residents can in fact step out onto their own green space, even 40 stories up.

    Is this the ultimate in "neo-traditionalism"? Just asking.

    A number of subdivisions (e.g. Murrayville in the Township of Langley) already allow "coach house" type apartments on top of the garage, facing the back alley. This increases density.

    "This increases density." Boy oh Boy, You just said a mouthful

    I see examples of desity on these page and sometimes it has been authored by me!
