【明報專訊】溫哥華市第一間「後巷房屋」(LanewayHouse)昨日正式與市民見面,首個「開放日」就吸引市民排長龍參觀,這個從一個「車庫」搖身變成面積710平方呎,一睡房、餐廳、浴室、洗衣間、陽台的兩層小樓,每月租金在1500元至1700元之間,市政府寄望這項計劃能夠為市民提供更多可負擔房屋,解決市內「一屋難租」的問題。這間也是全北美第一間以「後巷房屋」概念建成的出租單位,在溫哥華寸金尺土的現實下,「後巷房屋」被視為「未來城市的住屋模式」。

「『後巷房屋』的建築費用遠比蓋柏文低,大約只有一個同樣大小柏文單位的一半。」這間「後巷房屋」的設計師戴維森(Bryn Davidson)說。
睡房、活動區分上下層

他說,「後巷房屋」優點良多,首先是建造成本相對經濟節約,用已有的車庫作為改建基礎,花費一般在16萬元至22萬元之間;其次是設計理念小巧而舒適,所有家電都採用了嵌入法,睡房與活動區域則是上下分離式,盡量加大縱向的空間,減少橫向面積小的壓力感;其次是私密度高,雖然與所在地的屋主共用管道和電力系統,但卻有專屬的門牌號碼,以及室外停車位。

這間位於溫東麥吉爾街(McGill St.)2703號的「後巷房屋」有一個獨立門牌號。

就記者現場所見,這間房屋的設計是睡房、浴室、洗衣間以及一個小小的書房空間在一樓,二樓則有客廳及廚房,另有一個小露台,下面則被規劃為停車位,裝修費總共花了19萬元。

業主曼多澤(ManuelMendoza)對這個新物業十分滿意,他表示,原本只是一間像車庫的儲藏室,幾乎沒有使用,現在看到車庫被改建得如此漂亮,他很想搬進去居住,但考慮未來每月能收取至少1500元的租金,也只能先忍痛割愛了。戴維森則認為,每月租金應該在1500元至1700元之間。

曼多澤又說,這項計劃一方面令業主更好利用自己的物業進行投資,更不失為未來可負擔性房屋的發展方向,如今房價高漲,相信有更多經濟能力有限的家庭需要這樣的計劃支持。

屋主又說,不像柏文或城市屋,「後巷房屋」沒有業主會,不用交管理費,改建、增加什揦都不用看人臉色,是這類房屋的優點之一。
「後巷房屋」計劃由溫市政府於去年7月正式通過,估計全市約有6萬個獨立屋可參與這項計劃,目前市府只發放了65個建設許可證,該項目未來發展潛力巨大。

I don't really understand why this is news worthy?  Is it a really slow news day?  I have seen a LOT of these.. They are call Coach House, and this is NOT the first one lor. I have been to open houses that they have these "apartments" on top of the garage or just a small duplex like house on the back.  I have seen them like 10 years ago already.   LINE UP to go see it?  Vancouver people really have nothing to do?

The problem is:
Where in Vancouver can you find a house for under $600,000???
Social housing program is not feasible in Vancouver,  they cost over $700,000
per unit to build, and the cost of prime property at False Creek?
The social housing at Olympics village is not meant for the hard working low income people, they are for the homers that neither pay tax or contribute to the city.
Some homers told me that they have never pay tax in their live,
they move from city to city, just to collect all the welfare available

You moron, it is the government responsibility to figure solutions. These politicians gets paid by the taxpayers. One option is to learn from Hong Kong, which has no debt.
First, you claimed Chinese came here to buy real estate, then you claimed they all went back, LOL.
If so many people went back to China like you claimed, how come the ethnic Chinese population is increasing here?
If Chinese immigrants are so rich like you claimed, then they have already contributed large amounts of GST, HST to the governments, when they buy stuffs here.

The main reasons for big government debt and deficits include the inept fiscal management by the governments.

No one has ever said social housing will not work here, in general.

The government has reduced social housing at the Olympics village, because they have to cover the big debt from building the Olympic village. They should never have borrowed money to build the Olympics village.
Social housing is inadequate in all regions, including lower priced areas, not just at the Olympics village.

I agree with you on this
According to Stat Canada, RICHMOND is considered one of the poorest
city in Canada, because very few people paying income tax.
The immigrants leave their family here, with big houses and fancy cars,
using public  medical and education system then declared as non-resident
and DO NOT PAY TAX.
Some Cacausians  pity Richmond residents and think they are under poverty line.

how much the  MSP premium payment is, since they
never have to pay due to low or no employment income
on their tax return.A man from China leases a 4-Acres farmland from gov't  for  $10,000 per annum.
he rents out the farm house for $20,000 a year, grows and sell vegetables to
restaurants for cash. He declares deficit on his tax return and receives gov't

Most immigrants from China are professionals with education. They are the working class. They are not rich tycoons with cash to buy big houses and fancy cars.
Rich immigrants come from all over the world. Many rich Europeans, Americans and middle eastern people invest in real estate here, driving up prices.

China is not the wealthiest government yet. Where do you get that idea from? What measure are you using? China is big and populous, so if you divide the resources among all the people, China is still not rich yet. And remember, China is still a developing country.

Like you said, Hong Kong government has the money, but more importantly, it has no net debt. As you know, Canada has lots of debt at all levels of the government. They need to pay interest to service the big debt instead of using the money on the people. You need to wonder why with the high taxes here already, the government still has lots of debt and deficit. The school boards has deficits and therefore needs to cut the number of school days. Are the social benefits here sustainable in the long term? If not, then Canada is going to be like Greece, Portugal, Spain etc, i.e go bankrupt?

You moron, the high prices are due to demand from immigrants and investors.
So even if there are some people who wash money here. What percentage of the total market is wash money? How many houses are involved? You need to provide evidence otherwise other people can sue you for defamation and slander.
I suspect another reason is local people who grow weeds in big houses. As you know, export of weeds is big business of this province.

You have to make sure what you really mean? Per capita or not? Is China government wealthy or not? You cannot play around with ambiguity and then deny what you said.
The government having the "highest reserve" is not the same as the government is "most wealthy" . China is still a developing country.

Why did you lie about Hong Kong? For Hong Kong, they have free education, subsidized university, health care, social welfare and they will not go bankrupt like Greece, Spain or Canada.
Greece is bankrupt because they have too many people who don't understand the national debt and deficit.

demand as in "supply and demand". Do you understand the basic theory of "supply and demand"?
