Very, very late; many of those folks used to live closer in and got priced outward.

Like a commercial centre at Marpole skytrain station, Oakridge, along Broadway, something in East Van similar to Brentwood/Lougheed, etc.
The more spread out our commercial offices are, the less pressure there will be on downtown's infrastructure to commute to it.
Also we can build a ton of towers around each centre like we did at Marpole.

Why not both? The CoV should get big and downtown should get bigger.
