I seem to recall Davie as being quite “lively”. I guess the lesson to be learned is that the key to downtown revitalization is not to build a hockey arena but to bring in gay guys 😉

The fundamental problem with all big single use buildings is that they are empty most of the time. A big office building is only occupied 8 hours a day or so, an arena is even worse. I think any mono-culture is not what you want downtown. I wouldn’t want all retail, all office or even all residential.
