By provincial fiat, Edmonton must revert within three months to 2024 zoning rules that restrict anything but single-family homes in wide swaths of the city
Only millionaires that can afford to buy a huge plot of land with only one building on it are allowed to have a home i guess?
You don’t need a huge plot. The other piece is that prefabs have to have 2x6 construction to hold up on a freeway drive to the plot. Double wides and single wides are not what they were in the 70s. They’re not bad, structurally. And, you can slap them down on basements, depending on location. That scenario is very popular in the Midwest where basements are standard.
You could, quite literally, do a mobile home park style neighborhood where everyone owns. No shared walls. Skirt the zoning.
Granted, these would be far more palatable with 1 car garages and decking. The old school alley style layout with the garage facing the alley could work.
Double wides are 3 br 2ba standard with a decent floor plan. Again, slap it on a basement and you have a lot of space.

The issue is zoning tends to balk at those too.
Idk, 60 sq m should be minimum, with 20 sq m for every extra person.
