Downtown Living is not COSTCO.
Why should urbanites be denied the ability to shop for low prices at Costco just because they live downtown? If there's a market in downtown Vancouver for a Costco, then build one. At least they've done it in an urban-friendly way, and that is commendable. And this way, urbanites who want to shop at Costco (best place to shop for electronics, BTW) don't have to drive their cars out to the suburbs to get what they want.
