^Yes. When the Downtown Vibrancy Task Force in the past had been promoting '20k by 2020', at the time the population of Downtown was around 12k, even 8000 people would mean 30ish new towers.
At the rate we're going now, 1 or 2 completed towers every few years isn't going to move the needle much. And unfortunately there's only so much market demand for condo tower living. We need a whole lot more 6-12 storey type product as well. Take Oliver as well, west Oliver lots going on but we need stuff happening in all the core neighbourhoods and redevelopment areas. That's going to take a lot of effort and moving demand from suburban condos to the core. I just don't see it happening that quickly.
