These beautiful buildings stand as a rebuke to and an example for the $8M mansions and exclusionary zoning in Kits Point and on Point Grey Road.
We should be angry that Vancouver could not or would not do what the Squamish have accomplished here.
"The Squamish are going to make a lot of money, and Vancouver is going to get a lot of new housing."

Granville pedestrianization for World Cup seems so far to be hugely popular and successful.
