If that bumbling fool and the rest of the City of Burnaby included affordable micro-suites in with all the new development, maybe Metrotown would have a chance at being a cultural focal point for Burnaby.

What "demographic" are you referring to? People still need to use services no matter what kind of housing they live in.
I already see a lot more people walking along Beresford Street after dark nowadays, when there used to be none before. Look up those towers along Beresford and they are not empty as I see many occupied units. Don't tell me unlike the walk-ups, the residents don't need to use transit, shop or simply walk out for recreation?
