The images showing the growth of 5-6 story buildings along the transit corridors with the [somewhat] suburban growth in between reminded me of the South/West/North End neighbourhoods in Halifax. Very thorough and pragmatic, a vision that seems to be currently lacking in HRM. Have you ever thought of working for HRM again HBNS?

^ I wish he would too!
I think most of Halifax is built up in this way, we just need more 10 - 12 story apartment buildings to fill in the gaps along corridors.
