I agree with your whole list, although my #1 wish is for Morguard to stop stalling and redevelop Burquitlam Plaza.
With respect to point #2 above, I was driving up North Road with my son some time back, and he asked me, "Which side is which [municipality] again?" And after I told him he paused for a couple of seconds, and then asked me, "Is Burnaby a poor city?" and then didn't understand when I cracked up laughing.
At least some of that stretch of detached houses in Burnaby close to Como Lake Road is part of the provincial TOD zone around transit stations, so maybe it will see some change someday.
