Calling them stupid would have more punch if your own post did not contain spelling errors.
vancouver getting worse?

It's gonna be interesting when property values are so high that the Gas Stations are unable to sell gas to those Vancouverites not driving electric cars
ound:Not one in the downtown core now and a limited number around the outskirts of the city. I went to a gas station on Main recently and there was a friken line up for gas at two in the afternoon.
Seriously, fuck Mayor Moonbeam and his bike lanes. This has really divided the city between the millennial twats who inhabit the core and people from outside the city who actually have to commute and work in the city.
Millenial Twats?......I'm going to laugh on that for the rest of the evening.It's gonna be interesting when property values are so high that the Gas Stations are unable to sell gas to those Vancouverites not driving electric cars

....and I'm not even sure what it really means.
ding! ding! ding!
winner winner chicken dinner!
fuck the stereotypes- the reality is mostly the opposite.
and I am a PROUD Canadian.
It's worse if you go downtown and are stupid enough to drive. Take the skytrain, bike, walk whatever. You see the morons in their SUV's coming in from the burbs bitching they can't park in the street when the parkades are half empty. Leave your SUV in the burbs and you will see Vancouver has gotten a lot better even in the last 10 years.
Not every suburb has Canada Line, Skytrain etc.
We support it through Taxes but don't get the direct benefit as those living the utopian life in Vancouver.
It would be two buses and one Seabus before I would get to a Skytrain. Average day that would be 75 to 90 minutes one way. Car usually 30 min one way. I mostly need my car to go to other places not well served by transit during the work day.
BBB....take it you"re not hanging around Davie St. anymore ? :lol:It's gonna be interesting when property values are so high that the Gas Stations are unable to sell gas to those Vancouverites not driving electric cars

sybian....right there with ya...though I think we have some on the site..:thumb:
Esso at Burrard and Davie on the market since last April.
Most likely another tower to be built to house the same twats lol. You know the ones who wander down the sidewalk gazing at their phones, never making eye contact and bumping into other twats or trees or lamp posts etc.
ound:Chevron at Clark and Hastings or Main at 12 are the closest remaining gas stations.
So what's next for downtown, tear down some parkades to build more condos? Maybe that will make Robertson even happier to discourage car use and densify the city even more.
Or a "community garden".....remember the Shell that used to be across the street...or that there is a Shell at Main and E 2nd ?Esso at Burrard and Davie on the market since last April.

I think this article by Stephen Quinn about cyclists in Vancouver is intended to be a parody, but I had to read it twice before I came to that conclusion. The first time I read it, I took it to be serious:

Not quite that bad yet, there’s a Shell at Main & 2nd, Shell at Hastings & Victoria and an Esso at Burrard & Davie (which is up for sale). Not like Manhattan but going in that direction.Esso at Burrard and Davie on the market since last April.

As far as livability, I would take 50 cyclists and pedestrians going down my block over 50 cars any hour of any day and I am not aware of a city in the world that is looking to cut down on transit, biking and pedestrian traffic to encourage car driving. And I think the traffic congestion in our city is directly correlated to more cars, not more bikes, pedestrians and transit. So cars are the problem not the solution.
BBB as far as your desire to drive your single occupant vehicle, you have chosen to live outside the city for a low density suburban lifestyle which was designed with the car in mind, but why should city dwellers have to compromise our neighbourhoods to accommodate your suburban entitlement?
As far as increasing density in Vancouver, in the 'good old days' single detached houses were almost exclusively occupied by single households with under used undeveloped basements. To meet our rising population demands houses have already become multihousehold - secondary suites became common and now laneway housing has become legal and increasingly more common. I would love to see this trend continue with all lots in Vancouver zoned subdivideable and stratafiable to accommodate duplexes with secondary suites and laneway houses. Personally I don't see this as detrimental to livability or forcing anyone out of their home, it just provides more housing options and makes housing more affordable.
Lastly, if I was the mayor, I would find being called Mayor Moonbeam a compliment - it suggests someone who can dream of utopia, with the power to move it towards a reality.

Sometimes when I drive by parks I think to myself 'Wow, what a waste of space. A lot of condos could be built there.' Maybe it's time to get those developers on that empty space and make it happen.
Parks are owned by the public, and are deemed as spaces for the community.....it's a matter of perspective, particularly if that community is stuffed into apartments like beehives, and have no outdoor space.
But I know what you mean.....when I'm in the city and drive by a park with all that green grass, I think to myself.....Man I could put my beef on that, ...for at least a day or two.
