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.

Larger Map!

Most of you know that demolitions do not happen only in Dunbar; they occur all over this changing city.

Here is a link for information about the map (you will need to scroll down): Vancouver Vanishes. For the map itself, go to


For your convenience in viewing this larger map, I have put a link to it on the right hand side of the web version of my site.
