If anyone wants to see future ghettos, check out the townhouse sprawl east of Garden City. Truly dreary neighbourhoods with no focal point.

Setting Alderbridge as a boundary is completely short sighted. You're obviously ignorant of Richmond's master plan for 3 road. It's going to be an incredibly long stretch of dense towers with commercial retail at the bottom. 10 years and Richmond will probably have the most walkable, density conscious downtown in BC.
As for future ghettos. How is that possible when half of the cars parked in front of those townhomes are bmers and Mercedes lol.
