I think if people on the North Shore were given the choice between the status-quo or increasing density to justify mass transit we all know what the vast majority would choose.
I'm not saying I'm anti-transit, I'm just saying that the mentality of people on the North Shore is quite anti-density. More so then almost everywhere else in the Lower Mainland.
I personally would love to see more transit friendly high density development on the North Shore but I'm quite sure I'm in the minority.

I guess we'll just have to tighten the noose around the choke points that are the bridges by not expanding them, and soon, we'll have them gasping for transit.
Aren't rich people supposed to be free market capitalists? What gives them the right to block developers from building 50-storey highrises on
their purchased land?
