Yeah, too many selfish Nimbys, folks who fear taller and larger buildings, and lousy City policies that try to appease these anti-development people. Hence everything is squeezed into the Peninsula. The Suburb cities, on the other hand, are starting to explode with pretty dense skyscrapers.
I love seeing how other Canadian cities are rapidly expanding densely right outside the traditional downtown cores: notably Ottawa, Calgary and Toronto.

It drops down to Le Plateau level density for a couple of streets, then rapidly on a downward spiral to Suburbia USA density further down pretty soon. The transition from CBD to picket fence houses is phenomenal in Vancouver. And no, the Broadway Corridor will not even be a quarter as dense as the downtown peninsula, and the City together with the protesting hoards are still in the process of making it even less dense.
