Getting back on topic, I think I need to go out to Westhills and take a look at the whole area before I can pass judgement on the place.
Start by looking at it from across Langford Lake. It is hideous.

As long as the condo foundation is properly screwed to the bedrock I'm sure it will be fine.

A top priority for Westhills and its residents is the need for safe, reliable public transit service. With over 1,300 residents now living in Westhills, it is time to lobby BC Transit for the same service that everyone else in the region enjoys.
This is an opportunity to be environmentally responsible, as well as a cost efficient way of traveling throughout Langford and the region. Westhills’ foundation principles go hand-in-hand with those of public transit.
We asked our residents for their comments. Surita said, “A transit system for the residents is very important to us. I hope there is a change soon.” Aaron commented, “Having smaller buses connecting the different neighbourhoods of Westhills will help.”
There are many wonderful amenities surrounding Westhills, like the bowling alley, arena, mini-golf, lake and many others at its doorstep; the need for proper public transit service is a priority. Westhills residents should have full access to public transportation, similarly to other communities in the region.
If you support a public transportation service to Westhills, please sign our petition.

Again, where are you going to stick 5,000 homes, many of them houses, closer to the city?

It is a bit silly that the plethora of new civic facilities along Langford Parkway are not connected by transit. It's more than a kilometer from Western Exchange to the new bowling alley.

10,000 residents could easily be accomodated in high-rise structures throughout the 4 core municipalities. What is this, about 100 Juliets or 834s? The will and incentives just aren't there (currently). Otherwise, if people insist on their detached suburban spaces, then they have to be prepared to pay a premium for that, in transportation costs if nothing else.

And where would you put the arena, bowling alley, theatre, playing fields that those people would require?

...Your proposal is to build more in the core and let people travel away from it to use those amenities instead of building new communities, including those amenities, away from the core. Or am I getting mixed up here?
