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
