Most new office buildings should be designed in a way that they can be repurposed if the need should arise. Besides Honolulu & San Diego, Vancouver has some of the smallest office buildings for a major city. While Honolulu doesn't like their office buildings to have more than 30 floors, Vancouver has never permitted an office tower to have a 40th floor. Phoenix has allowed only one 40 story office tower. 

The big problem is that Vancouver is so far behind with hotel towers.

Fortunately, Seattle is still able to have their festival after all these years. They just never seemed to have the same problems that Vancouver had.
