Eastern Vancouver - Why are you not getting the same attention?

Now I am not suggesting that Washougal, Camas or many other areas around there are not effectively represented by local interests. But what I am curious about is I see a LOT of new busling movement around Downtown Vancouver. Yet, I see a lot of stagnation around building more and more infill and strip malls and how is there any effective communication of events and special things coming to that area. 

Yes, I know about Dozer Days, the Library, Firstenburg Center and a few other "minor works" around that area. But why isn't there a huge, growing  and glowing community around there that has some pride, takes ownership and publicizes the great employment center, condominium and rental space? Community and neighborhood options? 

Not everyone wants to live in a cubicle based housing system that basically means you are sharing four walls with your neighbor that is being built in growing succession in Downtown Vancouver and many other parts of Vancouver. Yet, I do not see the same connection, the same commmunication, the same continuity and togetherness that I see in the westside of town. 

May be I am just missing some thing?
