Sure, but there's the issue with residential causing land values to rise too much to make industrial viable. The main goal here is the preservation of the *industrial* part. We'll have to wait and see.
Plus, the term 'Mixed Employment' doesn't really evoke 'residential' in the name...  |
I believe we've all had this conversation before in the Mount Pleasant thread. Yeah, you probably won't see anything above six floors.

Yes, it's less popular. But turns out there's also only so many parking lots around, and the industrial lands are blocked, so the municipal governments are gradually being forced to move to residential for redevelopment.

Fixed. Lougheed, sure, but it's slight, piecemeal development; Oakridge, see below.
Correct. Point is, Burnaby and all the others have only been building tall so that they keep inside the C and I zoning or demovict "mere" renters, and won't have to touch the SFHs (Grand Bargain and all that). The height's got nothing to do with urbanism or affordability or any crap like that, and everything to do with them not having the balls to challenge suburbistan like Vancouver's doing.
