When I say downtown I don't just mean office. Retail is actually in even worse shape and residential is what the city should most be encouraging. Servicing residents in a highrise condo downtown is much cheaper than providing services to suburban subdivisions for Burnside or Bayers Lake commuters.
We're also seeing a constant stream of public dollars for road building to service suburban office parks. This puts a burden on the road network of the entire city and it is never going to be possible to provide reasonable transit service to these new areas.
Partly it wouldn't be so bad even if the office parks were better planned.
