Most new condos and apartments in the West End use electricity for space heating and hot water.  Even the fireplace is electric instead of gas.  Why?  Because it's cheaper for the builder to install.  Meanwhile occupants end up with power bills four times as much as gas, thanks to Hydro's two-tier power rate.

But that's what Christy and Mayor Moonbeam want.  Electrify the city and then export all our gas (carbon-tax free) for the rest of the world to burn!  However, there is a heavy price to pay for this folly.  A $9 billion dam, thousands of acres flooded, more transmission lines and substations.  All unnecessary if we didn't have this "holier than thou" attitude when it comes to the domestic consumption of gas.  BC with 0.06% of the planet's population will show the world, no matter what the cost!
