Absolutely this. I've been arguing this from the start. If we want to have reasonable density downtown then you need to intensify other areas of the city. I'd like to see the city more aggressively zoning key transit corridors as well to encourage transit ridership and create interest outside downtown as well. Every storey here that gets lopped off the top is 22 units that has to go on a tighter property downtown adding multiple storeys there, or it needs to go somewhere else.
It's time for the suburbs to get the intensification they would have been going through already if amalgamation hadn't happened.
