Nothing like the view from the ground. Clockbike posted this roundup of what’s happening just north of Vancouver:
Squamish resident here. I would like to tell you all a spooky story, grab your marshmallows and gather round, I’ll point my bear flashlight up at my face to create dramatic effect. I call this story: “The Haunted Sales Centers.”
It is ~2005, in a rainy windy city, upon the water. There lied the Squamish Oceanfront Development. A plan to create a residential neighborhood with marina, small industrial jobs love and flowers. Fast forward to today: the district is now $6.57 Million in debt. Source PDF.
Surely we have accomplished something magnificent for our downtown core, this is a story of the results of 7 years of hard work.
