Multiplexes

I might be reading the article wrong, but it sounds like all they're doing is allowing fourplexes to be built where triplexes can already be built. And if triplexes could already be built in these cities, why was no one building them?

One reason may be that this has been a thing for only a short while.

It doesn't make a lot of financial sense, plain & simple. House prices haven't come down meaningfully to reflect the current interest rates. Construction loans and bridge loans carry much more interest than before these policies were introduced. And back then you could still build a lot of these small scale multiplexes, with the exception that you had to go through the committee/city, and that added more carrying cost.

Thanks! My one question is whether the street facing unit would be live/work or retail?
