How did this happen? Was he somewhat responsible on the change of this project somehow?  |
There is an office Building beside Coast Capital: it's the small one on the other side of the lane.
You can't force people to build offices when there's not enough demand for suburban office space.
Also, side note, this forum has links to AIM, MSN, and Yahoo? What is this, 2005?

A lot of people don’t understand that great cities big or small have unique flavours which are distinct from anywhere else and they come out of the community spirit of its population. This is why a flavourless city like Edmonton despite its larger population lags behind funky Amsterdam. Edmonton has at least as good infrastructure as Amsterdam but can never match the latter’s vibe. Hopefully Surrey can figure this out as it continues to grow, but Canadian cities (with a few exception like Montreal) generally don’t have a good record in this regard. And as well, multicultural isn’t a panacea for bland cities, Edmonton has loads of minority communities but is still dullsville.

Maybe SFU can build a new major museum at Surrey?
