The whole concept reeks of Vancouver's stadium/arena district. For that reason alone, it should be shelved.
Honest question for Vancouverites, or those who visit: outside of game nights, is the arena district (whatever it's called) a place that you'd generally go to have a good time? I'm sure there are a few bars within walking distance that are good for game days, but doing a Google drive around there, I didn't see much that would bring me in. It's just a couple of concrete monoliths, crammed inside a spaghetti of roadways and surrounded by condo towers. Not very inviting, IMO.
And that is what will become of the WV if this behemoth is allowed to proceed even remotely as planned. THIS concept is no good.
