Finally, even they truly are planning something that actually competes with something that would actually be significant in a a true "big city" they still have to contend with the City of Vancouver and the Urban Design Peabrains who are more than happy to chop things down to their personal tastes so they're not so "imposing, obtrusive, load etc etc"
But here's hoping its for real this time....
