It's impressive how far out you can find consistent strips of storefront shops in Vancouver along streets like Kingsway or Granville; I'd call all of those "street-based neighbourhoods". It wasn't a large city back when that type of development went out of style in most of North America.

Mount Pleasant also straddles the east and west sides does it not?
