Very sad, and hopefully the lessons learned will help prevent this from happening elsewhere in Canada, but even that is not a sure thing...

HRM's planning regimes would enable the same thing to happen on the peninsula here if we were hit with a similar growth/speculation phenomenon. The limits on height and the desire to maintain single-family neighborhoods that are enshrined in things like HRMxD and the Centre Plan are exactly what led Vancouver to their current mess.
