Over the decades, attempts of tall+buildings+in+downtown+Vancouver have always been stumped. While Montreal has allowed 1 office tower to have more than 50 floors, Vancouver has never permitted any office tower to have a 40 floor.
Its like there has been a multigenerational mind virus (VMV) over the past several generations that holds back the scale of Vancouver. No bus, truck and train tunnel was ever built next to the inadequate 3 lane Lions+Gate+Bridge. Forget about big city symbolism with the YVR-Canada-Line having 10 car trains. Canada+Line wasn't even designed to have 5 car trains. The SkyTrain-Canada+Line was only deigned to ultimately run 2.5 car trains. Since 2009, only 2 car joke trains have been running and that fits in well with the small scale symbolism of Vancouver. The VMV is all about half-size buildings, short trains and narrow bridges like the LGB and the 4 lane Pattullo+Bridge+replacement.
The Vancouver+Mind+Virus isn't supposed to be true, just like the BCMV isn't true, but yet, its like something keeps making sure that Vancouver and BC remain small and backwards.
