Editor:

I am in favour of the proposed Columbia Square development. It would be a great improvement over the existing and would revitalize the area, close to SkyTrain, would provide very attractive homes for many people. Make sure to put in plenty of parking (and more).

I prefer to keep the high density in existing high-density areas and around SkyTrain stations; we should not be densifying single-family areas.
