Public hearings show tension over Vancouver’s push for density

by Kerry Gold

The apartment where Teresa Alfred and her cat Frankie live is facing redevelopment part of Vancouver's Broadway Plan, which some tenants  say does not protect all tenants and is not proving to increase affordable housing.

Tenants won a small victory this month at a hearing over one of several recent rezonings along Vancouver’s central east-west Broadway corridor.

Tenant Teresa Alfeld knew going into the hearing for her building at 1270 West 11th Ave. and the building next door, 1290 West 11th Ave., that the developer’s application for a 155-unit tower would get approved, and they would lose the battle to save their homes.
