In Vancouver, the problem is rampant NIMBYism. We have single family homes in ton of places where there should be low rises but zoning doesn't allow for it. Indeed, the solution would be to take away zoning power from the city into provincial or even federal hands and let housing be more dense where the taxpayers already paid for rapid transit. Look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonds_station_(SkyTrain) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmonds_station_(SkyTrain) this is not even a particularly busy station and it has 4M passengers and these two https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rupert_station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renfrew_station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renfrew_station together has barely more than half of that.
