It shouldn't be used as a reference point for anything other than cowardice and destructiveness of city hall; a poster child for the dead hand of planning.

The Cambie corridor was designed for the housing needs of yesterday and it quite honestly needs an update.
I think the Cambie corridor should have been 8-12 stories with taller towers around stations. Like Oakridge-41st and Marine Drive.
For Arbutus street, I do think that the
Arbutus Shopping Centre redevelopment will help introduce denser developments on the street as it is 8 stories tall. So the rest of the street can certainly support denser mid-rises at 6 floors.
