I served on Vancouver’s Urban Design Panel in the past & dealt with view cones. They made developments a lot more complex & more costly. Low cloud cover obscures a lot of the intended vistas many days of the year. Let’s make affordable housing our priority.

He’s not wrong. More density per site (= taller with floor plate limits) make rental towers more economically viable. That means more rental units.
