Not to divert the conversation too far, but since the Tire Shop was brought up, it brings to mind Winnipeg's Gas Station Arts Centre, located in Osborne Village. Osborne Village is about 231 acres. and home to about 12,700 people (so says Wikipedia). The land used in the following ways:
  • 29% residential (including about half single-family housing)
  • 12% commercial
  • 4.5% parkland
  • 54.5 % everything else (Wikipedia wouldn't say)

As a thought exercise, how does 231 acres map onto Belmont Village and the surrounding areas? Could Belmont Village be allowed to "grow up" without knocking everything down and putting up 11+ storey towers?
