So this is a "City of Vancouver" decision. We have 21 municipalities around here. I wouldn't be surprised if UBC had its own building code!

Can we try each solution in different polities? I hate to tell you this, but any civil engineer can tell you: at the end of the day, safety rules are decided by counting up the dead bodies from natural experiments. Why are guardrails the height they are? Slightly shorter ones let more drivers die. That's it.

This is very disappointing ! It feels like the city of Vancouver is doing everything it can to avoid adding the needed missing middle density housing.
