Suburban Updates - All Other Metro Vancouver Municipalities

[logan5]

I don't think Richmond will ever vibrant to any great degree. You need colourful and interesting storefronts. Richmond doesn't have that at all, so you won't attract the right mix of businesses that make a place vibrant. A good example to look at is Central Broadway. Plenty of density and plenty of older more affordable buildings, but because of the generic look of the retail strip, you're left with a dead zone.
