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.

Dunbar is Still Disappearing

Today we lost an entire block of small businesses, and Dunbar is unlikely to get the equivalent back, due to increasing rents that will be charged.We lost
  • a laundry/dry cleaner
  • restaurants: sushi, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, pizza, Subway
  • Mac's
  • a private liquor store


This is the east side of the 4400 block, between West 28th and 29th Avenues.
