I’m looking forward to reading about this, it’s something that many have suspected for years but nobody has really connected the dots. From what I have heard it is much like you say, there has been a long term strategy among the political left in B.C, to keep the Lower East side as it is in order to maintain a permanent constituency of dependence.

This chart will grow over time, and I’m sure will tell many stories. If anyone has suggestions on what’s missing, I’d greatly appreciate the input…
