AI uncertainty hangs over Vancouver office market

Some experts say shifting job needs are making future demand for office space harder to predict https://www.biv.com/news/technology/ai-uncertainty-hangs-over-vancouver-office-market-12348582 

Was Vancouver somehow generations ahead of AI in not allowing tall office towers. In many cities a 30 story office tower is like a stump. Even a 40 story office tower would just be average, at best.

Given the strict height limitations of Vancouver, the 30 story TD_Tower wasn't completed until 1972. 

That means that during its construction, Vancouver had its first office tower rising over 29 floors in 1971.
