We don't want to keep building more roads and transportation systems so far out: they are not sustainable at all. The reason why we have Canada Line and Evergreen lines coming online first before Broadway-UBC line says a lot: Vancouver is underbuilt. Otherwise the Broadway line would've been built long time ago. The low density along the corridor just doesn't justify its construction, yes, even now. Hence the West Broadway corridor plan to massively increase its built density.

Vancouver is only 44 sq miles and you want 75 to 85% of the 35 000 people who come here annually to move into Vancouver proper? Name a city that size that grows that fast.
Your Skytrain logic is way off.
That's enough of this debate., Peace out. LOL.
