I took my youngest to the park today, it was really quiet other than a couple of dog owners and a few people passing through. My child probably would've stayed there all day and night however.
When I think about Vancouver style urbanism -- high rises upon high rises because homeowners there actively block anything that threatens to destroy their precious single family neighbourhoods to the extent that they mostly elect conservative mayors and city council other than Gregor Robertson...
