Meh.

Every single neighbourhood in metro Vancouver has plenty of examples of historic and significant homes that have been razed to the ground.  Add to that pioneer  schools, and commercial buildings. 

Check out the facebook site of Vanishing Vancouver for plenty of examples.

Here in Richmond they razed an historic waterfront cannery and replaced it with cookie cutter retail space that five years later still sits empty whilst the developer now demands rezoning to more lucrative residential. 

In metro Vancouver we know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
