BC always has a way of slowing things down.

Of course for many cities, a 6 or 8 lane roadway would have been built. The train wouldn't just have 80m stations, but something closer the Montreal Metro's 152m stations.
If BC really planned & allowed for growth, that would mean accepting more of Canada's immigration. Since most of the world is nonwhite, its as if the multi-generational BC power-structure had to create a way to slow the immigration down. Thus Vancouver & Victoria have such strict slow growth measures, no one really sees through it. The slow growth initiatives are so strong that Vancouver is nowhere close to becoming Montreal size. Victoria is far from even catching up to Q.City.
This is all by design, because the BC power-structure doesn't want Montreal, Seattle or even Calgary size cities. It just so happens that most of the immigrants of the wold are non white. That's because most of the world is non white & its been that way since the beginning.
Its not necessarily all part of a racist agenda. However, by using all sorts of environmental controls & restrictions just happens to be a potential covert way to keep Canada & especially BC small in population.
There are those that don't want too many people moving into the mild part of Canada, officially its for environmental reasons. Thus, a slow growth agenda is maintained. Sydney Australia, SF, Seattle & Auckland are just as scenic as Vancouver & Victoria, but they have wider roads, taller buildings & longer trains than what is allowed in BC.
