A view of the mountains and the water doesn't make a city good.
Vancouver's biggest mistake was not building up, and not accommodating for the youth.
Seriously, the 90's were good for Vancouver, lots of emerging artists and actors from the 80's and 90's who would call Vancouver home.

1. Cliquey City - subjective
2. Obnoxious ppl - subjective
3. Trades based - I don't think so, lots of accounting, finance, law, engineering, archi/design firms out there. On top of that the other small businesses like import, export, logistics, forwarding...etc.
4. Cookie cutter, subculture, no one to hang out - sounds like you're hanging out with boring people. There are so many beer leagues for hockey, soccer, basketball - even though multi-sports leagues that organize games every week.
5. City regulations, etc - I agree, Canada is pretty wacked on regulations
6. Xenophobes - Pretty multicultural if you ask me. Never met a racist person except for one old white cunt outside the liquor store.
7. Girls - have to look past the fake eyelashes and clubbing dresses and find women not girls.
