Yup, being financially prudent is fine but cheapness has costs as well. One of the differences I've noted with development in the UK and Canada is that medium-term uses are really embraced over here but quickly overlooked in Canada. Just because something isn't going to be there forever doesn't mean that you can't build quality places that draw people in. It does require additional investment but doesn't require one to break the bank.
