That's the logical next step, but the current plan is a 30 year build out. Plus, showing more single family homes more than a block of King Ed/41st and Cambie turning into townhomes or rowhomes would scare the living shit out of the current residents and there would be absolutely no support for the plan.
I am disappointed to see in the renders that the King Ed & Cambie intersection is only 6 storeys (4 at 23rd/24th). What is the incentive for developers to rezone the property? Up to 2.5 FSR is discretionary now under current C-2 zoning and they wouldn't have to wait 18-24 months to deal with the process, public hearing, CACs, not to mention minimum LEED Gold requirement. Even worse on the other side of Cambie. Who in their right mind is going to knock down a perfectly good 3 storey office building only to replace it with 6 storeys of mixed use? It makes no sense!
