^Agree to disagree. I do not believe for a second that just because other cities are doing large scale block developments that it is the right thing to do. We also collectively decided that urban renewal, urban highways, strip malls, power centres, dead office districts, towers in the park, and sprawl were good ideas for our cities (almost the world over with some exceptions). I will continue to stand by my opinion that this form of development is completely out of scale with the human experience, and is not suited for one of Vancouver's only places where a fine grained structure of architecture, frontages, and businesses come together to create a unique place for people to gather and socialize (whether the scene that occurs there is your thing or not). It would be a misuse of the block to remove the experiential typography that has intentionally been preserved there.
