On a different note, I came across this engineering drawing from the CoV, circa 2003. It shows peat (bogs), soil status, and historic waterways of the city, and this info could be tremendously useful for any potential CoV home buyer.

In addition to the the link you provided, it is also important to understand how water drains in Vancouver... ie. I personally wouldn't be buying into anything along Marine Drive in the River District area based on assessments from engineers. The new stuff might be ok, but I wouldn't touch the older stuff. The same goes for anything in Queensborough.
