Surrey sues the province, who’s about to crush them with legislation. Vancouver seeks a new city planner to build the homes Ken Sim is hoping his new plan will allow, if he’s not too busy filing complaints against political rivals. Burnaby allows laneway houses but misses out on federal funding as Metro Vancouver’s new development fees are too high. And Port Moody council approves a new development despite a marathon of controversy.
