I think the townhouses should have been "beefier" - either without the setbacks (brownstone style) and heavier looking materials (brick/stone)
Why? Brick and stone has never been the vernacular for Vancouver's residential real estate (unless you count the limestone on the latest horrendous Shanghai Specials). Shingle shakes have long been used as it is a material in abundance here.
