The city & region has to work out a way so that there can be more affordable housing built. Unfortunately, little provincial Vancouver with all its extreme height restrictions make things more difficult. If a developer can actually build a Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne or Toronto size tower, if they also build an affordable housing structure, that can make a big difference in motivation. However, Vancouver has been a multigenerational trap which prevents it from becoming a proper city.
