See final paragraph - set to be the tallest building in Western Canada. The article focuses on the 14 stories of underground parking that will be included, which does seem excessive given that the SkyTrain is literally across the street.

    I love how you assume everywhere we need to come from and go to has a transit stop within range of someone with potential mobility issues. We didn’t even have that in Manhattan! Market forces quickly pushing people to relocate services close to transit stops, which I suspect you’ll bring up next, can also be informed by Manhattan’s setup, which has 200 years of history where that hasn’t happened yet. Soon, though, right?

      If you have mobility issues, why are you buying an apartment in a 50-storey building where, if there’s ever an emergency requiring evacuation, you’re super duper extra fucked?

      It’s not like 90% of Vancouver isn’t already SFH. What a stupid argument.
