It’s only partially social housing…there are also market rate units

The houses in San Francisco that you refer to are called Painted Ladies. I also love Mole Hill and was so glad to see these homes saved. They define the historical character of the whole area.

Mole Hill is such a triumph. I saw it go from dilapidated to stunning. This area was part of the architectual walking tours so I learned something about those houses. Looking at the house across Nelson Park reminds me of those famous houses in San Francisco (the Pink Ladies?) I wonder if Mole Hill gets the same recognition by tourists in Vancouver … if not, it should. The West End still has a number of gems that were saved from the wrecking ball.
