Dude, honey sweetie...you know that "you are a vancouverite" video that's floating around on facebook right now?
The thing they didn't mention is to be a "vancouverite" you need to be a pretentious douche and you need to be obsessed with the perception of the city on a world stage. Wait actually, they did touch on part of that douchy thing. Anyway. Not important.
We're not even the top city
in Canada.
Not getting into a "screw TO/screw Van" thing here, but size wise, economy, power, importance, population...we're all #2.
Like it for what it is. It's not New York, it's not anything but a nice city next to the Pacific close for asians to fly home with some resources we can pillage in the back yard. Take away the: asians and/or the resources and you get? Halifax.
Channeling a little Brad Pitt ala Fight Club, you are not a beautiful and unique snowflake, you are buying the marketing and you are not your fucking address.
Stop trying to make Vancouver something its not as a justification for whatever bullshit people are trying to sell us.
The cost to borrow money is increasing, the economy isn't, people are taking on more and more debt by the day with NO income growth and in the midst of it, prices have the nerve to INCREASE(on single family homes only, NOT condos)
