I just don't think having all retail and what not only under office buildings and condos is that great. Smaller businesses would basically be forced to only rent instead of owning their own smaller buildings. Plus I doubt we have the demand to fill in this whole area with highrises. If we did fill it in there is a lot more land further west. Density isn't just about high rises.
Developers who want to build smaller buildings could be forced to construct buildings that would allow for a number of extra floors.
