Vancouver needs more housing choices in more neighbourhoods, including appropriately scaled low-rise apartments. We support thoughtful, neighbourhood-sensitive growth that adds housing while ensuring it is matched with the infrastructure, parks, schools, transportation and other amenities that communities need.

Low-rise apartment buildings should be allowed where need is demonstrated and where they offer a reasonable benefit to the surrounding community in terms of missing middle rental and market housing. When done with thoughtful intention, low-rise apartments in low-density areas can offer much-needed commercial uses, such as grocery stores, coffee shops, and arts spaces, and overall enhanced walkability and community-oriented living.

Vancouver needs to accommodate population growth, and we need to do it in a way that makes neighbourhoods more affordable. That means allowing more housing in more parts of the city. OneCity has proposed solutions, including smaller lots, reduced setbacks, more four-storey buildings, single-stair buildings and more opportunities for shops and services within neighbourhoods.

Vancouver should make better use of land around rapid-transit stations by allowing additional residential density where it makes sense. Building more homes near transit can give people greater access to jobs, services and transportation while supporting vibrant, walkable neighbourhoods. Any additional density should be planned alongside the infrastructure, amenities and transportation capacity needed to support growing communities.

OneCity is committed to follow the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy which allows for more housing density near rapid-transit stations. We strongly believe that we need to build housing close to transit areas so that people can easily access their workplace and enjoy the City. We think it’s a way to build more convenient and climate-resilient cities, while reducing air pollution and commute times for all road users.

The TOD (Transit Oriented Development) Policy established by the Province outlines significant density around main transit hubs. This is further supported by specific community plans, such as the Broadway Plan, Cambie Corridor Plan, etc. The density outlined within these plans forecasts significant population growth and infrastructure upgrades that will benefit the City long term. The density in these areas also needs to be met with adequate services, such as childcare, affordable housing, and commercial spaces.

Vancouver should do both: build the housing already permitted under existing zoning faster, while continuing to make targeted changes to allow more housing where appropriate. Existing zoning should not be treated as a ceiling on housing supply. Additional density should be focused in appropriate locations and planned alongside the infrastructure, transportation, parks, schools and other amenities needed to support growing neighbourhoods.

The City should strengthen bylaws prohibiting open-air use of hard drugs, including fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine and crack, in public spaces such as sidewalks, parks, plazas and other shared civic spaces. Public spaces should be safe and accessible to everyone, and clear social norms matter. Enforcement should restore those norms while providing appropriate pathways to health and social services.

A property tax freeze would mean service cuts and deferring needed infrastructure while costs continue to grow. OneCity supports a predictable property tax levy that allows the city to fund the services people need. We also need strong spending oversight and making sure that the City is providing efficient services especially amid the economic uncertainty due to U.S. tariffs.

We commit to stable, reasonable property tax increases over the next four years, in line with inflation. A zero percent increase will force the City to increase the burden on residents through other fee sources, such as parking and permitting, while also reducing the City's ability to properly fund essential services like libraries, parks, and community centers.

ABC will freeze the City’s general property-tax levy in 2027 while protecting core services. We will achieve this through continued spending discipline, finding efficiencies, growing non-tax revenue, and focusing City Hall on its core responsibilities. The City has already reduced its operating budget while maintaining frontline services and increased non-property-tax revenues. We will build on that work rather than asking residents and businesses to pay more.

When facing a funding shortfall, the City should first find efficiencies, reduce lower-priority spending, and pursue alternative sources of revenue before increasing property taxes. ABC believes Vancouver residents and businesses already face significant cost pressures, and City Hall must live within its means. Core services should be protected, but any new spending should be subject to clear priorities, measurable outcomes and a sustainable funding source.

OneCity’s priority is to maintain and improve the services that people rely on. That means exploring different ways of doing things, but not using cuts to weaken core services and defer necessary infrastructure. Where additional revenue is needed to maintain service levels to keep up with a growing city, property taxes should be part of that conversation.

Property tax should increase in a predictable manner in line with inflation. It should not increase substantially more than that to cover any funding shortfalls. Municipal services should also remain fully funded where possible to protect the wellbeing of Vancouver residents.

ABC supports supportive housing, but approvals should be tied to appropriate on-site supports, strong building management and clear standards for safety and accountability. Vancouver should not be expected to shoulder the region’s supportive-housing needs alone. Other municipalities must step up and work with senior governments to deliver housing and services across the region. We should prioritize quality, appropriate supports, community safety and pathways toward treatment and greater independence.

OneCity would end the current freeze on net-new supportive housing. OneCity Councillor Lucy Maloney voted to reverse the ban on net-new supportive housing. We need more housing for people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless, including low-barrier options. Projects should have the right on-site support. Housing should help people build connections to services, community and a more stable life.
