I'd like to invite you to many of the neighbourhoods not far from Hastings: Commercial Dr. or South Main, both safe vibrant areas where many would like to raise their kids. Conversly, travel to suburbs such as parts of Surrey or Poco (outside Vancouver) and you'll find much higher crime rates. Suburbs are not inherently safer. Traffic accidents followed by suicide are the two leading causes of death in teens. Both are higher in the suburbs, as is obesity.

Nature abhors a vacuum. How about filling the void between your ears with something other than suburban elitism, prejudicial drivel and general ignorance about the conditions that made your downtown a mess. in some MSAs, the same can be said of delapidating older suburbs.

@samambayeah I'm a sociologist,a sociologist that loves people... when they stay off my lawn and don't talk to me unless there's a civil emergency. As far as lifestyle defence, where am I going to store my yard full of boats, quads, and extended cab 4x4's if I live in the core? I need all that stuff to fully express myself. Oh, and I need a place to hang up all the animals I shoot so I can process their carcasses. The simple fact is that Canadians are independent folks who need lots of space.

hahah oh my goodness! this is so not the way things are! i have lived in a city and in suburbia...suburbia is not "soul destroying"! cities and suburbs have their pros and cons, but my goodness, they're making the suburbs out to be some mindless place with fake people!

[samambayeah]

Are there any specialist, urbanist/architect or sociologist here defending suburbs and urban sprawl as an acceptable or positive urban occupation? Or just people trying to defend and support his lifestyle? Yeap, that's what i tought.

At the time, Evergreen seemed to relatively undeveloped. As of right now, Evergreen is great. I believe this movie takes a depressive view on a great community.

recently inner city residents in Calgary have been complaining about all the bottle pickers ransacking their recycling bins and rooting through their yards looking for recyclables. Of course this is not a problem in the suburbs, unless of course you live too close to a Commuter Train Station. The secret is to live far enough away that you need a big truck to carry all your stuff home from the "Power Centre", then you can avoid the crazy street people.

Is Adam lamberg in this?

drug addicts, drug dealers and grow-ops are in suburbia..right next door to your kids ... u just don't see it b/c it is inside a home, garage or behind a fence. In the city its visible but also isolated in certain areas.
