I actually do feel sad for all groups being pushed out of their home, but as you rightly point out this is part of life. What is different about Vancouver is people are being pushed out of their homes and nobody is moving in. Seems a great waste of a beautiful location.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. One might inquire what the First Nations think about white man's towers of glass and Vancouver Specials in what used to be beautiful temperate rainforest...

Vancouver for all its development is still a beautiful place.

Yeah but it's hard to say it wasn't a waste of a beautiful location plopping down crap like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Royal_Centre_Vancouver.jp... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Scotia_Tower_Vancouver_20... and hectares of Specials in the 1970s ... and I actually like good brutalism, modernism, and international style, can't imagine what people who don't like them at all must think
