small business at home needs to be able to have clients come to the location.
Small business in a hood emlliminates emission and reduce traffic volume , encourages biking and walking, in creases neigbourhood safty around the clock , creates multi-leveled community interactions making living in the city more welcoming and stress free, supportive.

Citizen interaction increases and takes cars out of rush hour as commuting to work is lowered as well as moms and dads can care for kids while having work at home , save money and have better more quallity interaction with their kids , rather then juggling with day care or babysitting and commuting.

In Burnaby, small businesses can have clients come to their home during regular business hours , why can Vancouver not follow the trend ?
Specially for Counselors , Therapists, Coaches , RMTS, Acupressure , Consultants , Architects etc .
this is nessesary specially as the trend of raising rent in business buildings is going up so high, small businsees not seeing more then 8 clients a day are forced to move. The Vancouver rates are to high being 20 to 26 per SF plus operating at 12-18 per SF making hard working small essential servises move out of the core of Vancouver where they are needed.

this is over all green for lower carbon footprint , better sapce use , safty increase , building real community adn healthy economy in Vancouver using bikes , feet ...smiles in steed of commuting frustration
