City politicians and planners "really promoted the below-market units in the name of affordable housing. But last year, Vancouver council quietly waived the demand for some of the project's units to be below the market average.

In response to questions from Postmedia, the city said Friday that 5,340 "below-market" rental units have been approved as of this spring.
