The housing stock in the Dunbar area of Vancouver has undergone significant change in the past five years. Originally a working class neighbourhood with many quite modest homes surrounded by lovely gardens, it is now a neighbourhood that 99% of the people working in Vancouver cannot afford because the replacement homes are built to the maximum footprint and cost millions. Greenspace has been reduced. Included on this website are photos of many (not all) of the disappeared houses.

Vancouver Vanishes

It's happening all over Vancouver.  Many thanks to Caroline Adderson who documents the demolitions of fine homes in a neighbourhood slightly overlapping and adjacent to the Dunbar area that I have been photographing:   https://www.facebook.com/VancouverVanishes?ref=stream
