Yes. People require less parking these days and the parking requirements are another contentious issue holding the city back on development. Specifically I am thinking that Metro Vancouver should relax parking requirements since the working generation is driving much less and that will continue to trend. Plus transit in Metro Vancouver is relatively easy to access in comparison to other cities.
Something like this I can imagine on West 22nd or West 23rd Avenue (between Oak and Cambie streets) to gently introduce more density.
