    I don’t see anywhere here prohibiting infrastructure expansion, this is a yes-and approach. All of the things you mentioned is infinitely more effective and cheaper with denser housing.

    It’s all kinda moot in this context because this plan is virtually useless for bringing any real density. The city only expects 200 multiplexes a year.

        Metrotown is miserable exactly because of our planning. It follows the North American style of density from the last 40 years where we only build 30-story towers or single family homes.

        Urbanists are saying we should instead expand the missing middle density to build livable communities and upzone the entire metro area.
