I'm honestly not sure what some people wanted to see here. The residential components are greatly needed, and the location of the retail seems to fit well into the area. I suppose people can dream of having a cluster of high-rises, or two or three 20,000 seat arenas and wave pools, but that's just not realistic. The development is going to benefit both the First Nations communities that are developing it and the city. Win-win as far as I'm concerned.
DISCLAIMER: I am fully aware no-one suggested "two or three 20,000 seat arenas and wave pools". This is called "hyperbole"; a "purposeful exaggeration" not meant to be taken seriously, used to emphasize or draw attention to a certain element in the narrative.
Learning moment over.
