This is about the neighbourhood of False Creek in Vancouver. It was developed during Expo 86, and then again during the 2010 Olympics when it became Olympic Village.
It isn't just a song about the city growing, but about the city outgrowing its inhabitants. Vancouver has a reputation for being very expensive, and eating its artists. The area the song refers to in particular gentrified really fast and went from an affordable space to a trendy one. It's about that feeling of being pushed away from a city that you love dearly.
