They live in older apartment buildings built in the 60s and 70s... which there are many in the Corridor and the aim is to protect them while the Plan is implemented and new buildings are built. I don't see what you're getting at. I agree with the restriction on where prominent rezonings can occur - mainly C-2 sites or in areas where SF homes are rezoned (Grandview-Woodland), but prices on many of these lots that require lot assembly have fallen in some cases over $500k, which is great for business.
The key is not to repeat a Metrotown PR or mass relocation "disaster". The big issue as well with the Plan is to make new construction "affordable", and we'll see.
