It was equally confusing back in 2007-2009 when it was happening and it was clear that VMC would be the preferred location over the long term.

Honestly - I think Vaughan just cheaped out since they already owned the land up there. Why spend the money to buy high-density designated lands when you can build it at Major Mack on free land?

The one consolation is that it's at least walking distance from a GO station so it' somewhat transit accessible.

There's no need to have only one "city centre" in a city. Toronto has 83 Business Improvement Areas, and is so much the better for it.
