If that's what you believe, you really don't understand how development works. The City can't make a developer build anything. The developer here has been in Vancouver for over 30 years. They have owned several prime redevelopment opportunities Downtown for most of that time. So far they've actually built a two-storey retail building on Robson, and a boutique residential building with 3 suites in the West End (that bizarrely they tried to sell as a 30 year leasehold building - with no takers).
