The raves at Plaza of Nations were the greatest times of my life. Gonna miss that building 😓
the city of Vancouver still owes me that floating McDonalds restaurant that I never got a chance to experience.
Expo icon
Yeah man
Same. Got bought a few years ago for scrap metal for 1$
We crab fished around it, for a few years.
go ahead, it's still in Maple Ridge🤣
some affordable housing did i hear, i worked for bosa building the place next door 450 sq ft one beds sold for 1.3 mil., not sure what u think is affordable maybe 1.2?
1.1
Hopefully this finally paves the way to realign pacific and expo, and take down the viaducts.
Wow that piece of property is worth 10x that today
0:12 look at that rich guy doing the " _I'm getting richer_ " dance with genuine spirit...
" Mixed-use centre "
Hope it has a bathroom.
Don't need any mixed use centres, it needs to be below market housing, 100% rental.

Funny, there's no plan or conditions to house the homeless people. As a result, an illegal tent city will be there, too. Vancover city council is the most pretentious group of politicians, just like the federal liberal party. All they do is talking about freedom, equality, caring, Canadian values, etc. But their action is all about spending an outrageous amount of money on a few temporary solutions for the homeless problems. They always reject cheaper but more permanent solutions like free tiny homes (4x6' costs $1,000 per unit) or micro-apartments, or even public washrooms for the homeless.
Tiny homes and apartments require land and contractors and planning and fighting back against NIMBYs. It’s not a simple fix. Not easy in a labour shortage and high construction costs. But I agree more needs to be done. I’d like to see the Province strong arm slow, ineffective, NIMBY loving city councils to densify and modernize zoning and fast track supportive housing. Demand all high density developments include some below market housing.
@John Brower people are here for 2 years Temporary workers permits. Australia and Some European young people go to Whistler on a 2 year work permit VISA. 80 % Immigrate don’t move to Canada to work for someone in a Farm. You have a Tons of Big mouth NOT ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE how things works. Covid Chicken factory labour workers process Chicken 35% are on Workers Visa permit. Office workers shippers, truck driver are the normal workers.
Uglier designs all the time.
This place could be a good real estate, but not the best. See those people living on boats in False creek, they are just slightly better than homeless' tent, and who will want to invest a property in such place. Besides, I assume wastewater the maritime homeless dumped into False creek has also contaminated the enviroment, every time I walk through this area I can smell stink of algae and E.coli. Feel free to correct my assumption
I'm one of those cyclist's riding around down there, and with a small westerly breeze, I also find it often smells like a sewage pond as well. Not only does it stink, but the water surface also looks bad. There's no water circulation in false creek.
@@gjscomputerstuff I believe those real estate developers would persuade government to remove maritime homeless from False Creek. Unlike the complexity in Hastings Street, heritage of Expo remains financial potentiality, thefore those Hongkong developers would eliminate all risk factors for devaluing house price at all costs. Anyway, the damage dealt to environment has been done, it may take decades to reverse, sigh.
@@robertchen4673 It was mentioned in the clip that the business man was from Singapore - not Hong Kong, although that's fluid.
Boats are allowed to stay up to 30 days (with a free permit) and I doubt that will change. But they should get rid of the those that don't comply with permits and regulations (especially dumping).
It would take decades for cleanup only if no effort/money was put in the process. I could see them cleaning it up in a single season if they wanted to.
@@gjscomputerstuff yeah I know the one mentioned in clip is a Singaporean, but his bad neighbor Concord Pacific is owned by Hong Kong guys. Anyway, I totally agree with your idea of regulation enforcement, however, it could be challenging to practice. Easiest way is introducing a new law to ban non-transportation vessels in designated area. Let the city council deals with this complication
*Turn it into tent city.*
The earthquake will deal with the condo issue
How you know gov china now bc look seem
Couldn't pay me to live down there.
Sad! News.
lol undevelopped
looks like trash
Oh great. More condos. Bloody ugliness.
that's a good thing, it's more housing
Better than a parking lot
If you want to dictate what other people do with their land, then buy it from them.
warning to Australia

Go back to ‘Berta if you like single family homes.
Horrible! Taking the view away and making it look like an ugly city with big oversized buildings.
The view is the buildings
