Langdon Algur Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 CDC this is your chance to decide once and for all which place is better, the City of Vancouver (including all Metro suburbs) or Vancouver Island. This is also a great chance to chat about all the wonderful things and spots that make these two BC Vancouver's so amazing. Share your favourite sites, events, parks, etc... that you like in both places. Be sure to say why your voting for each place in the thread. Trash talk is encouraged, especially if it's about Vancouver housing prices and traffic . Stupid Edit removed the poll Link to comment
Langdon Algur Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 I vote for the Island. Includes world class surfing in Tofino and Jordan River, Old Growth Forests all over the Island, Canada's highest waterfall (Della Falls), the provincial capital, awesome beaches (Parksville and Long Beach), great camping, and goats on the freaking roof in Coombs.

мeтpо Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Seeing as how Vancouver was rated in the top 5 cities to live in the world, I'd have to say Vancouver, BC. Link to comment
rampage Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I find the island boring. Vancouver for me. Link to comment
Aladeen Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Meh It's all great on the West Coast here... we are all very fortunate to live where we live. The ferry is pretty inconveinent living on the island and there isn't as much things to do as Vancouver. I have lived in both places, for families I would say the Island is better and for younger people without kids, Vancouver would be more appealing.... so really it depends. Link to comment
n00bxQb Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm happy on the island and I was happy on the mainland. Both have pros and cons, really just depends on your lifestyle preferences. Link to comment
Alchemy Time Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I live on the Island, and it's great and all, but if I had to choose I'd pick the city. It's so beautiful. Link to comment
pimpcurtly Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 My pick goes to the Island. I could be bias because I live on the Island...but I have lived in both(and both are great). The real only downside to the Island is the ferries. Link to comment
BananaMash Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I hate bigger cities, so I gotta go with the island. Link to comment
aGENT Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 If jobs weren't more restricted I'd be on the island. I'm not a city person though. Vancouver's pretty and all but I like space, peace, quiet and outdoors. As others mentioned...completely depends on your lifestyle. Vancouver offers much more for a young, single person who wants city things like bars, restaurants, Canuck games etc. Link to comment
Go Faulk Yourself Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Vancouver Island + Tsunami = screwed Vancouver + Tsunami = Vancouver Island takes the hit = (Not so much for the people on the island) I haven't visited Vancouver Island yet in my 21 years (Sad, huh...?), so with that I'll take the city for now.

Dion Phaneuf Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 City life! The Island is good for a weekend getaway though. Link to comment
Visp Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Whistler's pretty sweet been here way too long though! Link to comment
KFBR392 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'd say Vancouver. I live on the island, and I love it.. But Vancouver offers more in general. On top of the endless amounts of activities, the close proximity to the border (and anywhere else for that matter) is such an advantage. Being able to pick up and go somewhere and not having to pay out the ass for bc ferries and deal with all the time it wastes is a major plus. Any time I travel, having to deal with the ferries is the worst part. It costs way too much and takes too much time. Not to mention you have to work around their ridiculous sailing schedules. With the exception of Victoria, housing prices are the only real advantage to being on the island. Link to comment
