I dont know if I'm the only one who thinks this, but its pretty apparent to me (since i dont live here) that vancouver, as a city, has gotten a lot worse in the past year. e.g. cost of living much higher than i remember, more rude people, more kids on weed, more bums on the streets, the population as a whole looks decrepit, more idiot drivers, more entitled hipsters/yuppies, and lots of gentrification...
