City centre heritage structures are admired and used by a lot more people and visitors/tourists year-round. No one goes to admire your parent's "heritage" house in the boonies.
No one goes to admire 500 Dunsmuir. Nice try. I can't believe you're actually comparing it to the Eiffel Tower.

But by this logic, surely you support removing all the old decrepit houses that are on the heritage register right? Nothing special about SFHs yeah?

Don't you realise that Brentwood Park is the last remaining example of a post-WW2 bungalow working class neighbourhood? This housing type is a typical example of the type of housing built for the working class population when Burnaby was a quiet residential area. As WW2 vets returned from the war, housing was in short supply so this housing type was rapidly built to support the growing needs of the region. *some more bullshit*

Oh oops I was reading off of this page.
