Rutgers economist Jason Barr proposed something similar for NYC in a NYT opinion piece a couple years ago. Here is an extended version of his proposal on his blog.
Interesting idea. I doubt the location would work as it ruins great sunset views from Sunset Beach, English Bay, etc. And too many rich & influential people live along that Kits shore to sign off on having their view ruined. BUT, an extension half the size in a different part of coastline could work. Like south of Wreck Beach.

Love your vibes and thinking outside the box. But this is not a great take.
Vancouver isn’t full, the downtown peninsula is.
Most of Vancouver is still SFH. Fire up a real Vancouver Plan with permission to build up and LFG!
Can't win them all. LFG. 🫡
