What do my fellow Canadians think about this?
we can't all live in the 80s anymore
looks nice, what's wrong with it?
looks like china
Looks like a Chinese city
The golden age of generic buildings is over
it's better now then it was before
maybe some views of downtown from false creek aren't as nice
only problem was jimmy pattison got the land for $1 and then sold most of it to lee ki shing, government should have gotten a royalty or something
city was a backwater logging town then. no foreign investment or domestic capital to jump start the economy. if we changed it to leasehold the money might've moved to Seattle or san fran
i prefer medium/small sized cities
how come the pic from the 1920s look better than the one from the 1940s?
it was more than that, before alberta was able to lure companies from bc in the 90s, van was the business capital west of toronto
all of the money coming in was from hong kong and it was a lot easier for them to move to canada
st. john's is nice, but when I was there I didn't understand the layout, south-west to north-east is odd
looks like china
To be fair, people of the 80s called those buildings (Harbour Centre, TD Tower, Scotia Tower) generic piece of shit too.
i dunno
the only problem with Vancouver is the weather and the immigrants (2nd generation chinese are good, it's just the old farts and 56%ers that annoy me)
where is the piano on the bridge. than anyone can play. i forget which bridge.
I think Vancouver is a gay.
they move around the city. there's only two at the moment.
but vancouver weather is the comfiest weather out of all of canada
how come they tore down two buildngs
50's/60's Vancouver looks very aesthetic in the Fred Herzog photos.
Look at all that neon. Neon gives off a comfy, ghostly glow in rainy/foggy climates like Vancouver.
I would arguethat the Okanagan has the comfiest weather because they get less rain. I am in Van I can't wait to move to Australia to escape the cold/rain. If I had to stay in Canada, I'd move to the Okangan in a heartbeat, but for now I am stuck in Van for uni.
Vancouver used to be much colder than it is now. We used to get regular snow and lakes would often be frozen over in the winter (enough to support a person's weight). The lake in my neighbourhood froze over in 2016/2017 winter and some older lady said this was the first time she had been able to skate on it in about 30 years or so. Hopely Vancouver can warm up more.
Those buildings are for speculation. Cityscape? Who cares.
