Hope you are right Ryan but I have to wonder since all the condos already built around have not done much to make downtown vibrant in spite of all the promises.
All the equipment on this site has been parked and hasn't moved in over a week. Anyone know what the delay is?
...all the condos already built around have not done much to make downtown vibrant in spite of all the promises.
I think it's a good mental exercise to imagine what much of downtown Victoria would be like today in the year 2025 if the 21st-century downtown residential boom had never happened. In other words, imagine if all of the aggravated street issues and social problems were flourishing exactly the same as they currently are, but in a district full of parking lots, empty lots, and shuttered storefronts. If there were no traces of renewal or invigoration anywhere and if the downtown residential population was still just a couple thousand then it would be a very bad scene. Literally, the population living on the street would probably be higher than the population living in downtown apartments.
Heck, methinks the Janion/Pearl transformation alone should be enough to make Victorians feel good about 21st-century residential development in downtown Victoria. No need for anyone to link to photos of the scene down there as it was back in the early 2000s. We should all be able to recall the DTES-style vibe.
