Disagree hard. Seems like a good housing option for those who want to live in the inner core but can't afford a sfh. And what's with the assumption that they will have no care or ownership of the community? I can't help but see that as anything other than a classist assumption simply because...

Yeah minimal urban design requirements aren't that hard to implement. If you look around Surrey BC, there's tons of midrises this size and (low) quality, but they all at least have decent street interaction and feel connected to the city fabric.

Jasper place seems to have the trifecta of older housing stock, smaller homes, that are on larger lots. It is seeing a lot more infill than other parts of the city because it's cheaper and you can build more on each lot, in general

I hate that I have to ask now, but the brick in this isn't that wallpaper brick, right Ian??

Wow. Is this the same shitty wallpaper like brick that they used at 10416 81 Ave? It honestly looks even cheaper somehow

This is such a great looking development, it's just too bad that it's going to feel disconnected from downtown until those lots south of Epcor/CN tower are developed, which is unlikely to happen any time soon

Anyone who calls Vancouver well run has never lived in Vancouver

I like the corner windows. And that's all I have to say about this building...

Don't accept bad just because it could be worse.

Demolish a perfectly good building, leave the site in disrepair for years so that it becomes such an eyesore that people will be excited for a parking lot. We wouldn't have accepted this if it was proposed right after demolition, and we shouldn't accept it now

I'm guessing Principe, Parmer, and Clarke are likely going to be voting against every small scale residential project?
