It seems to me like Vancouver has a good set of mid-range venues like this. I like the Orpheum. However, the lower end music venues have disappeared and there aren't a lot of new major public buildings in the urban centre from the past few years. At least, they don't seem to be keeping up with population growth. You could make a similar complaint about a lot of Canadian cities. The last really big public buildings downtown, I guess, are the convention centre and library, which are both quite good, but I don't think there has been anything comparable built in the 2020's.
