i dunno what to think of vancouver cos im gonna go over to canada for a year but ive herd that it rains a lot, im thinking theres 2 different sides to living there and visiting there
It's a pretty city.... fantastic for Outdoorsy types or if your a developer....A Cultural backwater if your into arts. Worldclass?....Not in my mind...The Bus and Skytrain service is pathetic and sadly people tend to be very cliquey and hard to connect with....
@Terminator4fire Wow. That's a lot of trolling squished into one post! You can't spell and your grammar is pathetic, but I am still impressed by how much inflammatory idiocy you crammed in.
Too bad there's no money in being a douchebag, because you're a natural!
If it wasn't even enjoyable to visit, I cannot imagine living there. Whistler is cool and is worth a trip, but don't see why they're bragging about the ocean/"beaches" (lol) when the water is far too cold to swim in. Beautiful, yes, but more so the nature around the city rather than the city itself, although pretty clean (lack of trash) parts looked old and run-down i.e walking over dirt where sections of sidewalk were missing, surprisingly high # of gross-looking buildings, not to mention al
i like cities being multicultral and have respect to all the different races.. it's just so cool how a place can bring people around the world to live together ^-^

vancouver is a world class producer and supplier of chemical drugs. We have wonderful multiculteral gangs among huge amounts of east indian, punjab, vientnamese, chinese, HA and more!
We removed our mental insititutions and threw them all on the streets, so our homeless numbers are massive. We were the aids capitol of north america for a couple yrs, thats whistler now, and we have plenty of immigrants that never bothered to learn english because..well...u dont need english in the slightest.

One thing I absolutley HATE about Vancouver is those FUCKING UGLY VANCOUVER SPECIALS! It`s one of the reasons why East Vancouver gets such a bad rep. I`m fine with immigrants but when they come and build these cheap horrid developments are disrepectful to Vancouverites who have been living in the neighbourhood before the 1980`s. Don`t believe me, go talk to anyone over 50yrs old who grew up in Vancouver. They are simply eye sores that are spreading like a virus.
don't forget all the kids with an "N" on the back of the little second hand Honda. First thing they do is run out and buy a fart can noise maker to replace stock muffler. Then they piss off all the neighbors with the racket.Fucking brain dead morons!
@tubesteakbooky chill out, getting a novice licence has nothing to do with brain capacity, it's essential if you want to get a dl in BC. Just because you're old and senile doesn't give you the excuse to group N drivers with a couple inconsiderate jerks in your neighbourhood.
i used to justify my move to alberta by saying that we get much more sunshine than the lower mainland, which gets lots of rain all year round.
then i lived here in the winter without proper winter gear. the temperature dropped to -47C with wind chill, my feet became chapped from toe to heel just from driving in my car (with no floor heater), i had to apply extra strength vaseline on my face every day, my hands were always dried out and cold. BC <3
Wow seriously, there is no way in hell it is as bad as some of the cities I have been to.
Walk around Philadelphia some night and you will see sooooo many addicts and homeless people out in the streets.
On top of that, it is likely if you leave South Street you are going to get robbed, assaulted or shot.
Try Detroit or Baltimore.
You can't go to a major city and expect there to not be any people living on the low end but seriously, try somewhere else and I bet you miss it there.
ive been to vancouver well over ten times and i must say what ruins it for me are all the drug addicts. Is there any chance of walking a block with out 4 guys asking me for change?
I couldnt watch this stupid video as he never stood still and the cameraman ran around him and it makes one dizzy. F***ing idiot cameraman...por production.
Yeah Vancouver is paradise. We have a few problems, like all cities. The downtown eastside is definitely an issue, but we are slowly developing it out of existence, the crack heads are a public health issue, not really a problem otherwise. As for cyclists etc with no respect for traffic laws... i cant really argue abut that... they drive me NUTS!
Good video and don't listen to the previous comments. Vancouver is an awesome town and I'd live here permanently if I could. East side scum? One could only image that you are a racist SOB, who dislikes most people including it seems bikers and thrashers.
Too bad the video missed the legions of crack head zombies walking around all over pushing stolen shopping carts through neighborhoods at night making it impossible to get a decent nights sleep.
Check the garbage once the city workers strike is on for a week or two.
I've not been to Vancouver yet (although I consider moving there at some point) but - who cares about junkies? As long as they stay in their areas, not my problem. You can find same everywhere, but working people don't live amongst crack whores and have better places to go for a family walk on Saturdays..
"As long as they stay in their areas, not my problem."
Fair point. Problem is - they DON'T stay in their areas. There are so many of them, and they invade our neighbourhoods all day and night long. To go through the trash bins. Try getting a good nights sleep - you can't any more. Hundreds of stolen shopping carts combined with a recycling industry have pretty well ruined what once was a very nice urban setting.
Please don't show videos like this. There are too many people here already. And they are all beginning to behave like rats in a cage.
The video forgot to mention the east side scum is spreading its tentacles throughout the city, ethnic honour killings are routine, and driving in downtown is a nightmare where bikers pedestrians and skateboarders are oblivious to the concept of right of way.

They should build an underground freeway like in Boston. From Cambie to Stanley Park. But thats rediculously expensive.
endocondor 2 years ago 2
There being no freeway downtown is one of the reasons Vancouver is such a nice city. Some of us have learned to live without cars.
The giants highways that run through cities ruin their beauty.
BrandNewToyxx 2 years ago
Portland has a freeway that cuts through town and its pretty nice looking.
I think elevated mega freeways would be innapropriate for van.
Camby is good south of the bridge but then when you cross it slows and narrows and there are lights every block. .
endocondor 2 years ago
I think we're going to end up debating esthetics & priorities.
Freeways encourage sprawl.
I personally would advocate banning cars within inner cities .And building comprehensive, efficient public transportation systems.
But that's just my opinion, and it would never be implemented. ^___^
