Yea Vancouver is great example. I don't know how the planned future transit density hubs will ultimately be here although I hope if we can actually update our outdated zoning codes, we could have some nice height in areas like the Domain, south where a hub is planned around 35 and SH45. And a couple of other areas. I personally wouldn't mind seeing more density and height around the 290/71 and I-35 interchange. There's already 3 significant buildings there and they've been there as long as I can remember though the white curved building on the northwest side was built last. They do need to fix the bottle neck especially on the southbound flyovers because it's gotten ridiculous.
