Walk the shoreline of Kitsilano in Vancouver, Canada, and you see a construction site where eleven residential towers are rising from new foundations. This cluster of high-rises is squeezed between the bridge and the water, on one side, and, crucially for this story, neighboring parks and expensive single-family homes on the other.
