Yup! And Brentwood mall tower will be bit up the street, geographically higher, and taller in physical height.

Cant wait to see this shot in 5 years. Remember where you took this one Klazu from!

Yes, absolutely. I also support middle income earners' right to avoid income taxes. I also support low income earners' to avoid income taxes.

No. I do not support that.

Privatize those services and have people pay for the services they actually use (with private charities, discounts, payment plans, and other safety nets for those who truly can't pay) and you've solved the free loader problem.

Anyway, back on topic. I think this development will be huge for the area, although completely eclipsed once the mall renovation/expansion is completed. I do like that it will have a rather significant office component which should add another layer of activity and life to the development which pure residential can't provide. The proximity to the transit station is a huge plus.

This is the model the CoV should be following around their SkyTrain stations. I wish something like this were built across the street from Oakridge mall, for example.

Then you get a pesky "people dying in the streets from treatable illnesses" problem, with a spike in crime for good measure.

Almost every middle class white male flirts with libertarianism for a while around age 20, myself included, but I thought you'd be over it by now.

I was thinking that, too. There are several big, high impressive projects yet unrealized: Brentwood Village, Solo, Aviara ... name it, ... that I think
in some ways it's going to "overpower" Metrotown, if only in atmosphere and feeling. (maybe height, too)

That's easy: from my bedroom (I literally see this when sleeping + quite a bit more). I hope to live here still 5 years from now, but one never knows.

Why would you assume I'm any of those?

[Metro-One]

I am a white male who never flirted with libertarianism, I have always thought it is a terrible idea that will never work and will only serve the top few percentile. Social libertarianism is ok, because everyone is equal and it is secular, but fiscal libertarianism is a train wreck...

Generally they are the only people to think libertarianism is viable. Everyone else has more experience with how the world actually works.

And if you're saying you're not a libertarian, that's weird because your views are almost exact quotes from Ron Paul.

Well I'm none of them (except male). Not even a libertarian, actually.

My photo from today:

[Klazu]

Brentwood looks more dense from your angle than mine. Nice shot, man.

[giallo]

Yeah. It's definitely starting to look dense over there.

Thanks for all the updates today, Locked In.

[jb1969]

That is Stratus up to about the 25th floor. Now imagine Stratus when the other 20 floors are added to it. Then Atlus at 55 floors! and Brentwood at 58 floors!! Now we're getting a skyline.

[AudiA3]

Took some pics today otw home..

[vanman]

Thanks for the pics.

Anyone else dissapointed in the dull, dark grey spandrel-mullion combo? Looks very similar to the Met as well as Silver and Station Square.

Guys....

This thread is about the Solo District. It's not a general thread for sophomoric arguments about economics.
