it's definitely a different lifestyle in the inner city, and like the other poster mentioned, areas like kensington and mission are far from lifeless.
i think the point of the debate was the notion that the suburbs somehow create value for the inner city. They don't. The inner city has always been more expensive, both in terms of market value and taxation.
the developers have been riding a cash cow for decades, and its only now that city has decided that enough is enough and is forcing the developers to pay for some of the infrastructural costs they are incurring.
