To be honest if I were a concerned citizen (which I am I guess) I would be FAR, FAR more concerned about the Big Boxes going in down the street and the housing ghettos in Rosemary Heights than the infill development in Ocean Park and the building up in the Semi Mall-WR town center area.
The juxtaposition of these varied developments is ironic at best. White Rock is sticking to its guns ( to the chagrin of its more vocal residents) but Surrey seems a little bipolar these days. How does one simaltaneously approve a big box power center, a high rise mixed use district, densifying an established community node by subdividing large lots and a suburban sprawl wasteland of cookie cutter houses? Perhaps they hope the effects will cancel out- some people will be driving less so others can drive more. Some logic. Transit will conveniently serve the area that is being sucked dry by lower prices down the road.
