On Hornby St. It doesn't have any construction barriers or anything.

Is it purely decorative and the long glass panel at the top of steps is a window and not a door?

I think you're right. If you look at the "stairs" up close, they do not look strong enough for holding weight.

Yeah like fiberglass mockup. probably to just make these look like Brownstone fronts

Such an odd design choice. It looks like there's already a patio, why not lower the patio and have actual functional stairs leading down to it? Looks pretty silly to just have floating fake stairs.

Or...you know...just give them like 40% more fucking patio space instead of ugly useless steps to nowhere.

Preparing for rising water levels?

The most logical and therefore most unlikely explanation.

Suicide steps for when you realize what you actually paid for downtown Vancouver homes…

It's where the cool people can hang out and look cool.

Actually though it's probably something along the lines of plans changing last minute but they already built the steps and framed the door so they just left them there.

That's gonna end up looking like shit.

I can't find it via street view where that pin is 👀

Try going to 1128 Hornby St, Vancouver, BC, Canada, and then rotating to look at the other side of the street (using this method, I couldn't get streetview to anchor at the actual address, but I could at the one across the street, so you'll have to turn around).

Nice, thanks!
