Remember that Vancouver is unique in the sense that skytrain lines are spurring intense residential as well as commercial development, only because of very high demand.
And regarding the bridge to the Sunshine Coast, I rather the government allocate funds every year to save up for an eventual construction of a bridge to Vancouver Island. A road/rail link between Victoria and Vancouver should be a priority over others. Imagine one day we can take a high-speed rail to Victoria and back. That would've been awesome.

That one isn't going to happen mostly due to how technically hard it would be. No BC government is going to start a project that's probably not possible with today's technology.
Part of the arguement for the Sunshine Coast link is that it's the first part of a bridge to Campbell River, which is technically feasible with today's tech.
