Two points, first people do commute from Liverpool Manchester etc to London, not in vast numbers and normally not 5 days a week but the UK is about to cack handedly put in high speed trains at vast expense to reduce the time it takes to commute from the midlands.
Second you dont have to build all over the farmland, the hill sides of the North Fraser, increased density in the town centers of Langly Mission, Chilliwack etc would ramp up if you could catch a decent train into town, the valley is full of single family homes on 1/4 acre lots, it ought to be full of Burnabyish towns, tower blocks around the train station low rise apartments and town house beyond that
