This will be great for small towns and communities trying to grow into small towns. I live in Cowichan and while there are an insane amount of condos going in near the highways and Duncan itself, we could use a density bump everywhere. The newer (90s?) half of my neighbourhood is 100% duplexes and it doesn't feel significantly more crowded than the older half (which are mostly SFH with basement suites anyways). As it is, the transit and roads aren't there to handle major increases in density (cars or pedestrians) but a doubling or in some cases tripling would be viable and possibly attract that missing infrastructure.
