Thanks to everyone for helping maintain this, it's pretty incredible how well this is working and the numbers we're seeing.
I think the NS is in need of an update so I'll try and get on a drive through there one of these days, but the weekends have just been jam packed of late.

Downtown Vancouver is quite built-out, but the main reason for this dismal construction activity is because developers are avoiding building here. As stated many times before, policies created in the past are simply not conducive, and in fact driving away many potential developers to build elsewhere. Despite downtown Montreal and Toronto being pretty built-out, the primary construction activities are still in the respective downtown proper.
With that said, perhaps from now on, the Broadway Corridor should be included with downtown Vancouver. At least with this area added, the share of cranes increases to a more respectable 11.8%.
