What is a 鶹ýӳSpecial anyway?

Some say it derives from the “rancher” turned sideways, to adapt to Vancouver’s

narrow lots. Popular and quick to build, thousands of “鶹ýӳSpecials” were

constructed in the 1960s and 70s in bluecollar neighbourhoods all over the lower

mainland, and they remain today the dominant house type in Vancouver.

The sheer quantity of Specials and their adaptability to a two family dwelling is

making them more and more attractive to first time buyers.
