I wonder how many other municipalities are going to follow Surrey's lead in dropping development fees to spur investment. I didn't see the news report, but I heard one of the newscasters asking why Vancouver wasn't following suit.casual observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17802647397113775005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-601903215785413642007-02-22T19:51:00.000-08:002007-02-22T19:51:00.000-08:00casual - it is done - comment to your heart's cont...casual - it is done - comment to your heart's content!mohicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094213357140749289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31427364.post-47732149834170276872007-02-22T18:49:00.000-08:002007-02-22T18:49:00.000-08:00OT, I was reading some of the older comments poste...OT, I was reading some of the older comments posted on previous threads and I was wondering if there is any way of showing the DATE as well as the time that the comments are posted. I don't really want to post a comment on a thread that is out of date (no recent posts). Just a suggestion.

I just don't see where the demand is going to come from at these prices.

The condos on Main and Terminal in Vancouver have not exactly turned the surrounding area into a Yuppie community. I doubt the "W" is going to transform the local area into a new Yaletown either. <BR/><BR/>There is also the implicit assumption that there is actual demand for people to live in this area.
