One thing the core doesn't have in short supply is vacant land that he could build on if he truly wanted to 'aid urban objectives'.

Heritage architecture is a proven draw for visitors and investment. As grannysaga points out, the small enterprises that Blanchard dismisses are exactly the sort of thing that attracts people to the downtown. If we keep destroying our heritage and replacing it with monolithic glass boxes of the kind seen in Blanchard's renderings, we aren't going to need large anchor tenants like "maybe a grocery store or a Target or whatever I don't know" and high density condos because nobody will want to live here.
