Yup. I did the survey earlier this year. It should be a lot different in 10-15 years (if we are to believe all the marketing/brochures lol), but we all know what happened to all of the developments that said they were the next Yaletown lol. Even Beresford St. by Metrotown is a complete disappointment to what it could have been.
I brought up my concern with the subdivision + rental suite + laneways because it's something that I am not a fan of. In theory, it should improve the area, bring diversity, etc, but if it follows East Van's path it'll become a haven for investors and each unit will be rented out. Curb appeal suffers dramatically as these houses will not be maintained.
