Nothing except that many municipalities here in the states are converting tennis courts into PB courts. There already is a shortage of tennis courts for league play and the PB trend is exacerbating the situation.

Not just residential HOA. Many municipalities I work in have Design Review Committees in addition to Planning Commissions that strictly review and approve the aesthetics of a proposal much like an HOA would. I have had to go back to the DRC for approval of an alternate exterior brick color...

I am sure weather and adjacent density make it more viable in Vancouver.

Also used frequently in the Phoenix area for luxury home construction.

Buick?

In many municipalities in the US, a project will not receive a Certificate of Occupancy if the building materials do not comply with what was approved at the Design Review Committee.

How about new sidewalk and curb?

I would agree. I use to live in the area of W 6th & La Brea and it was extremely dense and almost impossible to find street parking.

Not fond of the sidewalk.

I would disagree with the statement. Here in Phoenix we have many sites in the down area that have sat empty (not even generating income as parking lots) because the owners of those lands refuse to lower their price and the city refuses to increase densities to make any potential purchase...

While I don't disagree with jetsbackincanada's comments, as someone who grew up in Windsor at the time of the 68 riots I can also agree with ladyscraper's comments that those riots did contribute to the white exodus from Detroit.

I think that can be contributed to the contractor who I had the past pleasure of working with on a number of projects in the Montreal and Ottawa areas.

Hopefully they are waiting for warmer weather.

As a former resident of Toronto, who has been living in Phoenix for the past 10 years, I share jetsbackincanada sentiments.

Wasn't this building approved to 50s from the 48s in the title?
