Would it though? My impression of "west of Arbutus" is that people owning there would execute any Mayor who even thinks about densification. They don't strike me as a group of home owners that would even welcome townhouses let alone any real density.
I could be wrong though. I just think it would be easier to build high rises in Shaughnessy than west of Arbutus.
On second thought though I guess densification south of Broadway may be more possible but I take a look at Google Maps and I'm not totally sure about things. For example, if they densified 4th Ave would a SkyTrain down Broadway really help? There's already a UBC bus going fown 4th I'd imagine that would continue just like bus service on Oak Street didn't go away as soon as Canada Line opened. Granted Oak is about 400m further away from Cambie than 4th to 10th, but it is still half a km away.
