Good point.

Indeed, if City Hall bought all the properties in the six mile by six mile square of land between twelfth and fifty seventh that is between Dunbar and Victoria, and turned it in to a big park, the density of Vancouver would drop a lot and there would be more park space available.

Maybe Burnaby and Surrey and Delta and Richmond could replicate that in their neighbourhoods. Think of it as the wise Trout Lake move on a larger scale. A wise idea indeed.

Sarcasm off.
