That's ridiculous. The net property value lost from losing close access to the beach is worth way more than the money the city got, on the margin, from the sale. It doesn't even make economic sense, let alone the equity issues.
What a joke.

West Vancouver is sooo lame
It is. It’s just a bunch of stuck up wealth hoarders and way too much traffic.
This is gross. This happens everywhere in the US, and you can’t find anywhere to walk along the water. The best you can do is find the one plot of land that’s public and walk around in the tiny park there. Public access to the waterfront is one of the many things that make Vancouver great, and it should be accessible to everyone, not just the wealthy.
Standard expropriation of the commons. Good thing the address is public knowledge.
