The now dead LRT would not have instantly transformed all the areas it would have gone through. 104th ave has been a mess for decades despite having buses travel along it. A streetcar would not change that situation on its own.

The thing is, 104th was never on the table for Skytrain (at least not yet due to low projected demand); unfortunate, because it's probably the best place for redevelopment, and showing its age the most. So that's a shame.
Also, it would hopefully cause Pacific Place (or whatever that empty building was called) to finally find a 'worthy' tenant the owner was waiting for.
