Yup, serious backward thinking.
The ONLY thing at this point that will save our downtown, and no it won't be a trade centre, is residential.
There are three reasons offices are moving from the core;
1 Parking
2 Cost
3 Everyone is living outside the core.
So if you get people living in or nearby the core you can significantly reduce the effects of items 1 & 3.
People need to get some common sense.
And developers making money? why not, they are taking the risk with their money, should they not expect a reasonable return? If not they will just invest in other centres, and or invest in the equity markets and make their returns.
