Vancouver's Jericho Lands development plan draws support and criticism
The Indigenous-led Jericho Lands plan for the West Point Grey neighbourhood that aims to build thousands of housing units on a 36-hectare site south of West Fourth Avenue is before Vancouver council this week. The proposal has garnered support from housing advocates like Russil Wvong, who argue it would alleviate housing shortages, and opposition from residents like Susan Fisher, who say the project would irrevocably change the area's character.
