1. Cliquey City - subjective

Richmond. Associations for specific cultures. Ever tried to join something as a fresh face? People here are not as accepting as you think.

2. Obnoxious ppl - subjective

BEST CITY IN THE WORLD !!!!!111111oneoneoneoneee

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.

our downtown core is mostly condo's as opposed to a real finance hub like Calgary, or Toronto. And the pay is really low in alot of those jobs. I have a few friends that are also CA's and leaving Vancouver because the pay IS higher outside of Vancouver and less taxes. The extra money your making and saving can be used spending a month of the year on vacation overseas.

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.

I'm involved in many subcultures. I worked at a nightclub for 7 years, and ontop of that I helped with the organization of the Vancouver Street Fighter community, organize many Greek youth events, been to many NSMBA events, played pick up hockey etc...

There are alot of haters in this city and NIMBYists. Look at how hard EXP is fighting to have god damn video games and liquor together, the battle against bikers on the northshore for years, and any infustructure that wants to be built in this city you have idiots crying and balling that their life is ruined. Remember Pemberton music festival? This brought in MASSIVE revenue for the Pemberton. Why didn't it return? Because the LOCALS CRIED. We can't even hold a decent con FFS because there is always some stupid drama to prevent it.

6. Xenophobes - Pretty multicultural if you ask me. Never met a racist person except for one old white cunt outside the liquor store.
