I honestly don't understand these people in this thread trying to compare Vancouver to cities like New York, London, Rio, HK, etc.
It's like comparing Apples to Oranges. With the relative low population of this city, there is no reason other than shitty planning.
The developers are moving faster at putting up these condo's than our government is at attempting to improve this shitty infrastructure.
It's becoming infuriating to drive downtown for work, and I live right beside Brentwood Mall, which is a stones throw away from the downtown core.
It blows my mind how many entries into DT are becoming bogged and closed down due to condo development. It might take me 20-30 mins just to get to Clarke and Venables, then you can take on an additional 30 mins just to get into downtown to Pender/Thurlow area. It feels like our city planners almost don't want people to work downtown, or care that people actually commute there in the first place.

When i was working at trump tower, i could get from Lougheed mall to the parkade walking into the trump in under 30 minutes every single day taking Hastings.
Mind you, we were starting at 630, but i rarely have a problem getting DT on hastings or Mcgill.. first is another story
