When I landed in Halifax circa 1980, I was struck by the geographic similarities between peninsula Halifax and the peninsula downtown Vancouver sits on. They both have a big park at one end (Point Pleasant Park and Stanley Park) and there's even a suspension bridge in each; 2 in the case of Halifax.
It's very pleasing to see the changes in my hometown. High rises at Rosie and Young? Mid-rises on Gottingen? Still decades in the future, but one can now envision the day when the entire peninsula gets built out. It may take till ~2050 for it to start coming together though.
