The Broadway Commercial redevelopment Plan

Almost any attempt to enable Vancouver to function like a big city is thwarted. Most of BC is a mountain wilderness that's too uncomfortable for people. Yet, the few major urban areas are continually stunted with so many restrictions.

So of course the most expressive & cantankerous people around the Commercial-Broadway_station area don't want Brentwood_Town_Centre size towers. Not even the towers going up in the Oakridge area.

That's in spite of the ridiculously short Oakridge-41st_Avenue_station's 50m platforms. Fortunately, Vancouver & BC can't make most other cities around the world have such short trains.

Not 50 or even 40 story towers, just stumps in the 20 to 30 story range in East Vancouver.

At least they wont be quite as stumpy as these.

The Broadway & Commercial area is an intersection of 2 Skytrain lines that simply will have buildings shorter than what will be at Oakridge & Brentwood. 

Even though I have always lived in Vancouver, I still don't understand why its one of the toughest places for people to accept a big city to flourish?
