Vancouver used to be a nice place to live, until developers became the defacto rulers of every city council both in Vancouver proper and the outlying suburbs.

Now you have roads designed in the 50's to accommodate traffic from the 70's while land assemblies of 5 or 6 single family houses get bought up and turned into condos. Where you once had 20 people living on a block you now get 200.

It's basically more animals at an ever shrinking watering hole.
