I'm curious to know what you find Vancouver City Hall has done that is far more accomplished than Burnaby City Hall.
The few things I can think of are:
- a far more extensive hospital network
- significantly better lit streets
- bike lanes!
On the other hand, Burnaby is significantly better at:
- managing the municipal finances
- a signficantly better municipal recreations program -- this is *HUGE* for parents!
- more efficient (building) permit process
- an infinitely more competent snow removal program
I am not too familiar with how Burnaby runs its public schools, but I can tell you that VSB absolutely suck donkey ballz. For quite some time, I have also been extremely disgusted by the woke CoV City Council. (Hopefully, Sim and his ABC folks will bring a much needed change in that regard.)
