Could New building shadowing policies kill many downtown Vancouver projects?

Of course, because Vancouver has been trapped under a multigenerational thwarting agenda. Almost any excuse has been used to hold the scale of the city back. 

3 octagonal shaped office towers opened in 1977. 25_Martin_Place, formerly MLC in Sydney with 67 floors above ground. Nauru_House in Melbourne with 52 levels above ground. Then there is the Scotia_Tower or stump in Vancouver, with the windows only reaching up to the 34th floor. 138 m or 452 ft. The 35th and 36th floors have no windows. https://www.skydb.net/building/134544260/scotia-tower-vancouver , https://www.skyscrapercenter.com/building/scotia-tower/4396

Prince+Rupert is in a limited growth area. In contrast, Terrace has a lot of relatively flat land around it for growth. Terrace isn't as limited as PR, so its a potential growth area.

Despite its limited flat areas, Prince_Rupert should be a growing port for NW BC. Kitimat should also continue as a major BC port. Terrace has the biggest potential for growth and should have improved highway and rail connections between PR and Kitimat.

Switzerland can fit into BC about 23 times, yet BC doesn't even have the population of one CH. Canada is nowhere close to having 1% of the worlds population.

The very narrow Lions Gate Bridge in Vancouver, BC

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Gate_Bridge

Construction start	March 31, 1937

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Gate_Bridge#History

Opened	November 14, 1938

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7e/Lions_Gate.jpg

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions_Gate_Bridge#Gallery

Unfortunately in the 1930s, there just wasn't much vision and motivation to see Vancouver as becoming a bustling and thriving port city. In contrast, Sydney, NSW and SF, California already knew that they were growing major cities by the 1930s.

Then, by the 1960s and 70s, when Montreal and Toronto really started to grow up, Vancouver became immersed into the BC backwater mentality. By the 1960s or 70s, there should have been 3 lane tunnel to provide a proper counterflow to the inadequate 3 lane LGB. 

Georgia_Street is seven lanes wide near the entrance to Stanley_Park and the 5 blocks leading towards the park.

Had Vancouver waited until the 1990s, not only a 7, but 8 lane tunnel should have been built under the park and near the bridge. Such a tunnel not only could have provided 3 lanes each way, but a bus lane each way as well in the 8 lane structure. Unfortunately, that never happened, nor did a rail link happen.

Indeed, several decades ago the SkyTrain should have been extended to West_Vancouver. There never even seemed to be a plan to extend the SkyTrain-Canada_Line segment to North_Vancouver either. 

There has been multigenerational resistance to have a proper comprehensive transportation plan between Downtown_Vancouver and the North_Shore. There also seems to be a lack of vision or interest to link the Horseshoe_Bay_ferry_terminal to YVR and also a link to the Tsawwassen_ferry_terminal.

Of course Detroit doesn't have the same extreme height restriction as Vancouver. Thus, it was able to build significantly taller than Woodward's_43. Detroit's version is a far cry from Vancouver's watered down version.

Calgary man prefers laid-back Alberta life over Toronto

Toronto is a big city on a lakeshore like Chicago is. Calgary just doesn't have a sprawling suburban situation like those urban areas have. Calgary can get colder than Denver during the winter and almost as hot as Dallas during the summer.

Of course any big city or industrial area can still get occasionally smoggy.

The LA City Hall was once the tallest building in California, now it's just like another stump building.

37 vs. 73

37 vs. 73 is the difference between a stump and a tower.

In Vancouver, BC, no office building is permitted to have a 40th floor, let alone 50 or 60. There is a 37 story RBC and more recently, the Stack-office-tower. In contrast, Seattle has a 76 story office tower.

37 - Why is this number everywhere? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6iQrh2TK98

There are various buildings with 73 stories, but they vary in their heights.

Unlike Vancouver, BC, several cities are able to build transit, bike or pedestrian bridges without having to take away any lanes from the existing narrow bridges.

Some Perth Area Bridges

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_River_(Western_Australia)#Bridges How could so much infrastructure have been constructed? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bridges_in_Perth,_Western_Australia

Well, WA is very far away from the restrictive backwater BC mentality.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narrows_Bridge_(Perth) 5 lanes each way and 2 train tracks.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Narrows_Bridge_from_QV.1.jpg This scale of eneneering simply isn't allwed in Vancouver, BC.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canning_Bridge#Current_structure:_1939

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ca/Canning_Bridge_2006_SMC.jpg A nice 6 lane bridge that hasnt been Vancoverized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windan_Bridge Another fine 6 lane bridge.

There is a plan to only have two 6 lane bridges within the city limits of Vancouver. While the stubborn city refuses to build bus and HOV bridges, even though that would dramatically improve transit.

Unlike the WA approach, the backwater BC way is to funnel everything into a series of chokepoints. Its the epitome of bottelneck absurdity. https://twitter.com/DriveBC/status/1595492088057335808/photo/1 A 3 lane wonder, or a total blunder? Why have a new structure for bus & HOV lanes & especially a harbor train crossing, when you can just have an inept 3 lane bridge?

Whether you are visiting from Perth, WA or Seattle, WA, nothing can prepare you for Vancouverization. Even if you are visiting from LA, you will notice that the mountains are smaller. Its as if they have been watered down, just like Greater Vancouver in general has.

Perth, WA and Seattle, WA

It's always interesting to see what Perth and Seattle are allowed to do, simply because they aren't bound by any BC type restrictions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perth#Transport , https://developmentwa.com.au/projects/redevelopment/new-northbridge/overview , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Farmer_Freeway#2013_tunnel_expansion

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle#Transportation , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Route_99_tunnel

Of course Vancouver, BC would never allow anything like the Northbridge_Tunnel or the 99_tunnel to run under the downtown and connect to the North_Shore. 

https://twitter.com/DriveBC/status/1585381176919076864/photo/1 7L funneled into 3 lanes, a classic bottleneck. Even though an express bus tunnel with a provision for 2 train tracks would immensely improve this transportation corridor, it's not allowed. That's because Vancouver refuses to take a big city approach. Indeed, the Vancouver mentality is to emulate a provincial backwater mentality for as long as possible.
