I think looking back, New Westminster is sort of an example to look at? It used to be much more culturally important, and now its completely different. I'll admit I don't know much about this part of town but I'm sure there is some history here to learn from.

quote Wiki (which has a lot of historical info on New West): "
It was founded by Major-General Richard Moody as the capital of the new-born Colony of British Columbia in 1858, and continued in that role until the Mainland and Island Colonies were merged in 1866, and was the Mainland's largest city from that year until it was passed in population by Vancouver during the first decade of the 20th century."
So yeah things change. If CoV keeps their viewcones the way they are, then the rest of the region is going to overtake it in importance. Do any of the other cities have view cones? I know Burnaby has one (between Central Park and Brentwood) - has anyone else come across any more non-CoV ones?
