thats every city anywhere. La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona has been under construction since 1882. Welcome to real life

Honestly the weirder feeling is a city that has no construction going on. I was visiting family in upstate NY last year and was downtown Rochester... what a strange desolate vibe.

Yeah, true the NE USA has some cities that have been pretty hard hit in ways people here can't imagine. I remember being in Buffalo even in the late Eighties and it was clearly in decline. At least there are some greet shoots of a turnaround.

For me the happy medium would be somewhere like Austria or Germany which feel prosperous without as much teardown of the existing urban fabric.

Well a lot of that urban fabric was torn down for them about 75 years ago...

If Vancouver managed to build more than just wooden shacks of single-family tract housing then I'd be more willing to keep something. Frankly, we didn't build much worth keeping. Colonial age aesthetics are overrated anyway.

Your description of d/t Rochester reminds me of downtown Winnipeg. For a city of 750K, it's downtown feels quite empty; certainly a desolate vibe.

A very empty South East lot waiting it's time to be filled with towers.

Ivy looks great. Towers of its quality and scale should be the template for growth all throughout the City of Vancouver.
