Turning Urban Lemons into Lemonade: A Vision for Vancouver

Vancouver faces a “shameful” housing crisis where dogs are often the only “family” that can fit in downtown two-bedrooms. We propose a “lemonade turnaround” by building smart, structurally supportive housing between the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts rather than demolishing them.

Key Highlights of the Vision:

  • The Aqueduct Parkway

    A natural turbulent stream with hanging gardens that create ionized air and wellness for residents.

  • Work-Live Studios

    Dozens of three-story retail spaces for craftsmen, artists, and influencers to build equity.

  • Samson Sweet Homes

    A unique matching program connecting landowners’ backyards with coach house buyers.

  • Community & Culture

    Revitalizing the area between the two stations into a destination for walking, meeting, and eating.
