Oh come on. The rendering shows plants growing on the balcony railings. That's it. Obviously it's way overdone to make the rendering more appealing but none of the other things you said are present. Number 4 is particularly off-base because Vancouver is literally in a rain forest. >And skyscrapers are simply bad for individual living. Also bad for individual living: homelessness. Besides, what alternative do you suggest in a city blocked on two sides by mountains while the third and fourth are blocked by an ocean and an international border respectively? It sounds like your city has some major problems and that is colouring your opinion. Vancouver is widely regarded as one of the most livable cities in the world [0]. That's in large part due to the density afforded by apartment buildings in the downtown core. As an aside, the city also has stunning views. I'm in a low rise right now, but I wake up to spectacular views of snow capped mountains every day. It's the primary reason I chose this apartment. The people on the other side of my building get to see the Pacific. While the people on the north side of the building get both! I'll give you the traffic argument though. That needs to be planned for properly and that is one of my concerns with this particular development. It's located squarely at one of the city's major bridge bottlenecks.
