Just more B$ manipulation hype used to slow down the rate of people moving into Vancouver.

The green scam is a clever way to avoid building big infrastructure. Why build something like a 152m long Montreal Metro train, when you can just build a 50m Canada Line? Don't even allow for a provision to triple length the underground stations because that would add more capacity.

An excuse to keep the bridges narrow so its that its much tougher to have fast bus lanes.

Allow developers to build some projects big & tall, if they agree to also build affordable housing.

Although Canada is the second largest country in land area, it doesn't even have half of 1 percent of the worlds population.

Considering that almost every other country is smaller in area than Canada, yet they are still able to accommodate millions of more people, is astounding.

The BC part of Canada is very reluctant to have its 2 mild regional urban areas become big.

Even if Vancouver & the BC Lower_Mainland was allowed to become as big as Montreal or Seattle, most of BC would still be wilderness & small towns. In some ways its Canada, but its especially BC that doesn't want Vancouver to ever become as big as the Greater_Toronto_Area or the San_Francisco_Bay_Area.

Even if the Victoria to Nanaimo area was allowed to become as big as Sydney or Miami, most of Vancouver_Island would still be wilderness & small towns. 

Most other best livable cities are actually allowed to build up proper size infrastructure than what little Vancouver permits. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_livable_cities#The_EIU's_Global_Liveability_Ranking

Of course Australia is another example of a vast land area with hardly any of the worlds population.
