All that towers being constructed give the impression of a lot of density being added but it masks the fact that the city is doing little to nothing to touch all the SFH zoned land and it still only has the population density of Point Grey.

Yeah despite all the development around their city centres, they managed to miss their Metro 2040 targets for 2021 by the largest nominal difference (on a percentage basis Coquitlam did worse for large municipalities). Their 2021 target was 117,800 dwelling units and they only had 107,046 for a miss of 10,754 units. Even if all the current projects under construction were completed tomorrow they'd still be behind the targets they made in 2011. Surrey also missed theirs, but the CoV and New West both surpassed their 2021 targets.
