My least favorite part is definitely the overpriced homes... As I mentioned I'm a renter myself and always frustrated at how over priced this market is... If you're smart though, u can find good bang for your buck... Just have to be ok with living in an older building and renting 

 

Lack lusture culture I can't agree with u on at all though. The city is so diverse and has people from all over the world. You can find different cultures in each neighborhood. The beauty of it is that you can choose to stay away from certain spots if those aren't what you like. 

 

Italian neighbourhoods, Asian, Indian, etc and plenty of good white people too. Tbh if I had to say which BC city are friendliest I'd  probably say the ones from Kelowna... For the most part a white town 

 

Yea rush hour traffic isn't good in van. It's best not to be driving during rush hour, but otherwise I've never had any issues getting around. You get this with every big city, Toronto LA worse imo.

 

I used to commute about 2 hours each way, North shore to Richmond for about 8 years. Definitely not fun but it's up to you at end of the day to make choices about driving less 

 

And your final point... Rainfall... We moved here in 1998, it used to rain A LOT... But past few years... I'm not sure if it's due to global warming or not, the weather is perfect here, so many sunny days and rain barely lasts long when it comes. It's definitely got the best climate in Canada if u ask me 

Once you take out Chinese and Indians out of Vancouver, there is very little diversity.

Toronto is 10 times more diverse than Vancouver, I am not even mentioning N.Y, L.A, London etc.

Vancouver has a large Croatian, Russian and Filipino population as well as those you mention.

I thought this was a thread about Schmidt not about whether Vancouver is a really good city or a great city.

If we are talking diversity through immigration, Winnipeg may take that one.

I'd say it's pretty good.

Definitely not great, certainly above average...but not great.

If it had more history/culture/affordability it could be spectacular but for now it's good/pretty good.

I forgot to mention the huge Italian contingent as well.

 

most times I think of diversity on the prairies I remember this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Canadian_internment

"

The Ukrainian Canadian internment was part of the confinement of "enemy aliens" in Canada during and for two years after the end of the First World War, lasting from 1914 to 1920, under the terms of the War Measures Act.

Canada was at war with Austria-Hungary and about 4,000 Ukrainian men and some women and children of Austro-Hungarian citizenship were kept in twenty-four internment camps and related work sites – also known, at the time, as concentration camps.^[1] Their savings were confiscated until they were released. Almost all were "paroled" from camps in 1916–17 to become paid workers on farms, mines and railways, where labour was scarce. Another 80,000 were left at large but were registered as "enemy aliens" and obliged to regularly report to the police."

Vancouver needs to pay us to live here. Wouldn't see that anywhere else.

Schmidt, coincidentally, is a German name!!!

Wow finally made it to the end of the thread. 
My two cents worth ... it wasn’t a good trade, it wasn’t a great trade, it wasn’t a perfect trade. 
It was an Awesome trade.

For the record, I disliked Toronto. It may have more nightlife, the HHOF etc. But I found the city very grey, sprawling and the people were generally less friendly from my experience.

 

And it's farking cold.

 

And the dirty, rotten, stinking Leafs suck 

 

If I wanted culture in Canada, I'd be heading to Montreal.

Most fans "What a deal. You can't say anything bad about this trade."

 

Snivellers "Hold my wine!"

 

 

 

There's plenty of proof in this thread that a whining angle can be found for any move Benning makes.

I feel this post unfairly disparages wine drinkers

Leafs suck.

Montreal is art.

Also, how much you make is apparently important back east. People seem abnormally "materialistic" at parties.

[Timråfan]

Can't someone do a votethingy sonwe can go back in time after next season and check who was right? 

 

Is Nate a solid 2? Who get to play with him? And what stats does he get after playing with the Canucks?

I’m born and raised here and see the city for what it is. There’s some good stuff that I like about Vancouver, but I’ve travelled enough to know that it’s not as amazing as many state it to be. 

Subjective...

Montreal is a great city.  Can't handle those winters though.
