McBackup Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 LA > Vancouver because there’s soooooooo much to do there. NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, MLS, the concerts there are crazy too. The beaches are insanely nice. The only negative thing is the smog and traffic. Stopped reading at "NFL". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says LA is a better city than Vancouver and the first reason he lists is "NFL". Fun fact: LA has exactly the same number of NFL teams as Vancouver.

Ossi Vaananen Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Not bad. Wasn't there another thread today saying most Canadian teams ranked the worst? I'm too lazy to check. This would explain how we land mega free agents like Vrbata and Miller on reasonable contracts. I'll take me a Boychuk and/or a Soderberg this summer .

JeremyCuddles Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 LOL that is rich. Most work places requiring their employees dressed in a suit in Cali or Florida would likely have air conditioning in their office. Vans a great city, I liked it there, but take off your homer goggles, there are lots of reasons to live in about any city or town in North America. Heck I actually enjoyed Inuvik when I worked there. His homer glasses were surgically grafted onto his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 His homer glasses were surgically grafted onto his face. This is true but in this case let's be honest Vancouver is 3rd on the list only behind LA and NY. New York is horrible, I'd rather move to Edmonton. Jokes aside I'm serious... If I'm out working and parking my car then walking to my clients place, it's dreadful in the peak summer days when it's 26 plus degrees. Also I guess none of you like having the best mountain range in North America within 1.5 to 2 hours away from you, depending on where you live. Plus sand is so unhygienic I rather go to a pool where I don't step on a rock or beer cap and my eyes aren't red from the salty water. Seriously I'm not a parent but you'd have to nuts to rather have your kids grow up in new York or LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckofSteel Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 LA? That's just disgusting, I would never want to live in Southern California. I hate that Disneyland is there, because I have to go to SoCal to go there. Most desirable for me 1. Vancouver 2. New York 3. Colorado 4. Montreal (treated like a king for being a Hab) 5. Minnesota 6. Philadelphia 7. Calgary 8. San Jose 9. Nashville 10. Boston (hate the B's, but city seems cool) That would pretty much be my list of teams I'd accept trade to if I was a player with a NTC in my contract.

You realize the Chargers, Raiders, and even 49ers are all events you can attend any day while living LA? That’s like us to Seattle for a Seahawks game from Vancouver. Everyone does it. A couple hour drive and boom you’re there. Give your head a shake please. Maybe you haven’t heard of going out more than your 5 minute walk to the corner store. My bad then.

Down by the River Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 New York - different restaurant every day, anonymity, successful people everywhere is inspiring Anaheim - I love the OC. It is not as posh/snobby/plastic surgery as some people think Boston - big university population, nice to be around people who are educated Chicago - amazing architecture, great food Denver - actually one of the sunnier places in all of the USA Nashville - sweet country girls? Yes please Montreal - see above but replace 'country' with 'French' I wouldn't have LA on the list just because I hate LA. I know I wouldn't have to live right in LA, but I'd hate having to drive into LA for games/practices, etc. That city is a mess, no purpose to its planning whatsoever.

I drove from LA to Berkeley in November. I drove well above the speed limit and it still took quite a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego u could probably do without too much problem it's only 120 miles south of LA or so It's really quite stupid how LA doesn't have an NFL franchise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's Wellwood Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Not everyone enjoys 2 months of sun followed by rain, wind and slush. Liveable, yes. Likeable, not so much. Better than ice storms in New York or the desert that is California. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps you could follow up on Vancouver's baseball team, the Seattle Mariners to distract you. Or cheer for our own NFL team in the Seattle Seahawks. Perhaps a brisk walk around the corner to the Space Needle would clear your head. Also, if you're looking for something romantic to do in Vancouver, I hear Portland's rose garden is beautiful. In the summer we can waterski in the Okanagan. There are so many fun things to do in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
