Uytae has done multiple great videos and gives food for thought. He presents a concept of questioning some building codes that may be not so applicable now a days of superseded by various materials like his dual staircase discussions and opens eyes to possibilities and we really need to find more solutions that can be put into action soon. 🇨🇦
Give Uytae his own show
I'd like to hear more for Uytae.
Disappointed to have such a short discussion. Should have made this a podcast.
The way it ends is actually just disappointing. They should have had continued the discussion on RUclips, not cutting him off mid sentence cause TV commercials need to play 🙄
@@exithiside i mean if you cut the budget you gotta pay for things some how I suppose lol
Uytae is one of Vancouver's best. Honestly nothing but top notch videos and breakdowns of issues we have, and always a positive outlook offering potential solutions.
Uytae is definitely educating people he is incredible in explaining planning
Fast track this guy to the federal housing minister job!
CBC should give him a longer video! He knows what he is talking about!
4 minutes interview is too short of time for such a major news topic. Didn't like how he was cut off twice. Very informative and well handled by this young film maker.
If the government had implemented this type of solution I wouldn't have had to relocate my family and business out of the city and province I loved so much. To have to leave behind all of my family and friends and deprive them of a close relationship with my kids was absolutely heartbreaking for us all but there was no other way.
Hey CBC.... add the link to his video... In your description please... So people can go watch it
What was the purpose of this video?
for one, you don't even have link to his video in the description for those who haven't watched his video, it's your own CBC video for matter of fact, not his personal channel video.
two, you pretty much rushed him off and he didn't really have any time for discussion, why even invite him on the show?
Your insight will be lost to most people,most importantly the party you addressed. They don’t care for actionable planning they are there to report after the disaster and the carnage it leaves behind.
I thought people didnt care what places looked like already …. Those poorly built high rises with their badly fitted interiors are ugly and as cheap as hell! All for an expensive price . Also they are clones of each other . No houses will be built just tiny coffins in the sky . What about families?
I watched it twice! And due to the housing crisis I’m in the midst of. Shared it with my partner the next day, as it was so educational.
I appreciate his videos and analysis, but no, we can do better. The unadultered Vancouver Special is hideous on multiple fronts. Bare rear yards, paved, with chain link fencing is typically associated with them along with the removal of trees and zero landscaping creating a very sterile streetscape. They are only appreciated now because they do maximize space, they are generally sturdy, but mainly because they can be easily improved with significant modern detail and landscaping. If you must allow them, fine, but they can be vastly improved and trees and landscaping requirements will help.
I mean that’s kinda silly. Unless we name the antagonist. I guess we are in wartime. Class war.
Why not just join BRI, Forum in Beijing 140 leader's attended for cooperation in Agricultural-Poverty alleviation-STEM Healthcare-Infrastructure. Templates for all to use... CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Reporterfy-Cyrus Janssen. RT International Russia's economy booming infrastructure +++
Too many taxes on construction, property transfer tax, gst on materials, permit costs, etc.
The feds will make this an overcost disaster...its what they excel in.
Seriously?
You can’t even give him 5 proper minutes to talk? Why even bring him in?
Not y’all cutting his time short 😒
Is there any way to fire this host and replace him with Uytae?
It sounds fantastic! I love the idea of preapprived designs and strong functionality. Good functional designs have a way of becomming loved.
The was a waste of time watching this.
Government needs to remove the $180 per sq ft development fee on all rental towers. Government needs to make it profitable for these buildings to get built.
So you can buy a new Lambo?
@@donm2067 many people will benefit from thousands of rental towers getting built. Renters, Contractors, Manufacturers, Suppliers, Trades people etc… will be tons of jobs.
@@donm2067 have you seen Canada’s population targets?
“From 38.2 million people in 2021, Canada's population may reach between 42.9 million and 52.5 million in 2043 and between 44.9 million and 74.0 million in 2068, according to the various projection scenarios.”
Better start building…
@@Observer168 Canada has an aging population with less adult workers, and the labor shortages cause production to rise in cost. The Fed and provincial governments need to give tons of incentives to house builders to start building to reduce the demand and keep inventories high and hopefully prices will go down.
We are talking about poorly built construction in 5 to 7 years begin to fall apart as well these homes will probably be stata an extra 300 to 400 a month or more. Plus info structure cant handle it ...commutes will be normal at 2 hours minimum each way.... solution STOP PROMOTING VANCOUVER ! SOOOOOO much opertunity out side of vancouver.

i feel bad for him. the flow of the interview was a disaster
How does this help the cost of building materials or property costs?
These home would be filled with new immigrants and refugees. Canadians that have aid taxes for decades would be excluded!!!!! As always!!!
It would be the best thing ever! ! ! Who would love to pay 600k for an 800sf house with no yard! ! ! Slow 👏
I have said this 35 years ago… build stock and basic good quality housing .. no fancy furnishing …he is noth8ng new.. use stock plans
It will look like Detroit 1970s as those who have no respect for property will destroy it ! Btw you can make cheap builds with huge subsidies look good!! They do it all the time now - by transit and charge you ! Who pays the difference? Who get mortgage/insurance approval ?
Congratulations on building homes across Canada 🇨🇦
I bought a house in van for 1 million 6 years ago. I could NOT afford a vancouver special then.
Really appreciated the video by Uytae. I’d like to hear more on this topic, and hopefully without the entire interview ending abruptly right in the middle
Canadian government has to let buy properties investors pay more tax to reduce property price as these group buyer make canada property prices go up !!! Property is not stock, it is for Canadian people living, not investment tools, who use property price for them make money, they have to pay higher tax !!! As they make people home place becomes their make money tools, Canadian government have to stop this bad way asap ! Solve Canadian people no place living problem asap ! If they buy second property has to pay 50% more tax, more property they have to pay more tax to reduce property prices asap !!!
Love the Uytae fan club in the comments ❤
I loved his video about the Vancouver special
How do these go for ? Thank you.
What is with Trudeau and war?
Great to see Uytae again!
Bunch of overpriced junk houses, the problem is the price tag, housing should not be a commodity it should be a basic human right
No it shouldn't. No one is owed or should be forced against their will to provide housing.
I thought they were talking about the small ones that were so prevalent in Ottawa! Were these built in Vancouver in late 1940's early 50's?
Post war houses across Canada, you find them everywhere
TV production rules really fall flat in the era of RUclips and podcasts… his last thought was actually important and everyone deserved to hear it.
They guy is a great videographer!
It’s pretty amazing a story on wartime homes has an advertisement from a custom home builder ?
Vancouver has already a blend urbanism ... wont make any different
Canada needs Donald Trump
The initial Vancouver Specials certainly did its job. it housed for fair value. pure utilitarian, maximized design. Looks subjective can't be choosy! (Definitely something Arthur Erickson wouldn't have touched haha only modify-- speaking of which, some local firms do retrofit these into westcoast cladded versions ~but $$$).
In the early 90s second-gen of the VS- came the 'monster house' moniker. on a larger parcel say 50'x120, the VS mentality carried over. you could even have 8-9 small bedrooms. there was a brief time when open design wasn't as admired as it is now. soon after, monster homes got politicized for lacking character austentatious even. also a time when certain monied immigrants got into the property game.
Uytae in his VS docu. actually addresses the recent reality - '..tend to want to get it done in a way that doesn't change the community too drastically'
Uytae Lee is great!
Uytae rocks!!
Right now in Vancouver, you can buy a lot for $2M, build a nice house for $0.8M, plus interest and permit, the total is $3M. Or you can build a really crappy war time house for $0.3M, which will result in a total price of $2.5M. Do you see the problem here? Land is the really issue. If the federal government pass a law to develop the Stanley Park and the 5000 acres of cranberry/blueberry farms in Richmond, then we are talking about a solution.
The idea of a "new special," is bigger than the first one. In short, it was about a multi-unit design that might essentially skip some stages of the approval process. From what I understand, the Feds are taking it a step further, and propose a set of pre-approved designs of several sizes. Granted, it doesn't completely solve the problem of the value of a property, but I think it's safe to say that your issue is less of an issue if these expensive lots can get quick approval for a quad-plex, or small apartment building.
@@pyRoy6are they not already doing that with these ugly high rises going up everywhere ? To the OP i disagree totally on developing what little parks there is in this area . They are already un enjoyable due to the overcrowded nature of them . This is not China you cant live on every square inch on top of each other .
@@samoday2992 I don't think the Federal government (or any provincial or municipal government) has an established set of pre-approved highrise buildings, no. Do you know of any program like that?
The difference is that the Vancouver special was designed to house two families. So if it costs $2.8M, the developer can sell each half for $1.5M and still make a profit.
@@pyRoy6 be it a federally approved or a developer . Its already at a rinse and repeat level . All the government will do is add more red tape . Have you seen a difference in design for the tower blocks we see at present ? There is unlikely to be any , with more 600sq ft shoe boxes with zero outdoor space and you get to call that a home .
Imagine being such a terrible government that you have to float wartime measures when you're not at war.
Love the Vancouver special... And love the suggestion that we rekindle the pre-approved building plans. Would think a Vancouver special could be redesigned as 3 units in the basement... Bachelor tiny unit, and 2 one bedroom suites, and top floor as a single suite, and with the top floor suite able to be easily cohabittited if sublet out to individual renters
Not Kim Jong-un
its Canadian who cares
Why the lack of large trees?
3D printed mini homes on standardized foundations. Homes could be completed in less than a day each, on average, if a whole neighborhood was being done.
Then sell them only to first time homeowners or devise a way for those with lesser income to be on a path to ownership.
Problem is everyone wants to live in the big cities and there isn’t Vacant land for 3D printed homes that’s cheap enough near the big cities.
@Observer168 there's plenty of land in Canada, unless you're on an island.
@@benevers5512 tons of land but tons of places nobody wants to live in . Look where most of Canada’s population actually lives
@@benevers5512all the affordable land is also 3-4 hours away from any major city
@Observer168 3-4hours by car. Trains are amazing... I do get your point though. Prairie and maritime cities in Canada could all easily expand if decent transit ideally rail transit was introduced. Victoria not so easily due to placement at the tip of the island. Vancouver would need some adjustments to agricultural regulations to access some of their lands within reach, or to work something out with first nations in the area and go north. I cannot speak of montreal or Toronto I've never lived in either.
Vancouver Specials suck
I think anyone would prefer a Vancouver special to living in the streets in a tent…
@@Goldsavergamer Not me. I grew up in one and they're depressing. I can easily afford a non Vancouver Special house. Besides, it's the land that costs the most so it will still be unaffordable
@@robocop581The "new special," as proposed is multi-unit. And the Feds want to have several pre-approved designs. The idea is smarter than you think.
@@pyRoy6 Yawn. More like high density ugly housing. But hey, whatever suits your ugly taste. Besides, this only speeds up the process. The land cost ain't gonna change and Developers will charge more for an inferior product
@@robocop581 I think you might be underestimating the benefits to speeding up the process of building more housing, and overstating the importance of aesthetics.
