Electricity in Vancouver is normally all Hydro. There might be a natural gas peaker plant, but when you charge your car, the electricity is normally generated by a water-driven turbine.

As a Vancouverite I agree with pretty much all of this. I will say that as a woman who's not 6'5'', I used to work in the DTES and have never been accosted by the homeless folks there. I've even walked alone in a mini skirt at night and not been so much as cat-called. Ironically I've had way more trouble with regular dudes harassing me or following me from the train. It makes me really sad that we price people out of housing in Vancouver, then criminalize their homelessness. I'm hoping the city takes a turn for compassion, since it's kinder (and cheaper!!) to help people with housing and addiction support than it is to constantly harry them or trash their belongings.

Great Video about Vancouver B.C. I totally concur with many things mentioned here. One thing that is precious but hard to describe is the air quality - so fresh compared to many other cities in the world. Another thing that was mentioned by someone else in a different video is that the city doesn't have a lot of bugs/flying insects - you can leave your windows open all day and barely anything will come flying in, or if you are ridding your bike or jogging, barely any bugs disturb you, a very big plus, it makes outdoor activities very pleasant. You definitely have a gift of storytelling - you keep people glued to the story, even without being sensational. Keep climbing higher.

Obviously, it's recommended to keep your head on a swivel, don't listen to music, yadda yadda. And obviously, I'm still a guy - I assume my experience would be different if I was a woman or in an even worse mobility situation. Still, I think the whole violent crime BS is just the news media having a shitty day and reporting stuff that would've been ignored pre-2020.

You did a great job accurately depicting this city. I have been lucky enough to call this home for almost 40 years now. We do have problems, but all cities do. With the mild climate here, a lot of marganalized people come from across the country to survive in our winters without frostbite or freezing to death living on the streets. That helps give us a higher than average population of impoverished and entrenched people. I would also like to comment on the building as you had mentioned them not being too tall. There is an aspect of not cutting off views , but it is also noteworthy to mention we are on the pacific rim, and lo0ng over due for a major earthquake as we are frequently reminded. That is a more prevalent reason for the lack of towers... which is also changing. A lot fo the newer buildings are coming in around the 50 to 60 floors as the engineering is making safer structures. (Still to be put to the test.)

It can also come down to preferences and one's personal situation. You need money to live there. A working person will struggle there. And it used to be a very British place, as the native-settler population for English Canada is English and Scottish. But now it's very Chinese, especially in the younger demographics. So if you're young and want to find a partner who is Chinese, or you love that culture and that scene, then it's for you. Otherwise, you may feel quite isolated and experience cultural clashes. We live among other people, not as individuals, and so it's a very significant aspect of life there.

One reason why Vancouver is expensive is a lot of investors bought real estate. I know of people who bought 3 -6 houses or an entire floor of a new condo complex for investment about 10 years ago. It was expensive then, but now, it is unaffordably expensive. At best, one can hope to buy a crappy 700 sq ft condo that will need fixing after your collective tenants pour congealed fat to clog the main plumbing stacks.

Vancouver is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities in the world and I’m happy that you found your happy place. I always enjoy myself when I visit but my friends who live there are often comment that the city is very unfriendly. Obviously, they have a terrible homeless problem which seems to be more and more common in all big cities in North America these days.

great video - made me appreciate Vancouver more Moved here in 2007 from US never ever looked back. Here is how I see it differently: food is AMAZING and so reasonable to literally eat out every day, THERE IS NO CRIME !!! Have no idea what you are talking about as far as some "scary violent crime" it is the safest place in maybe the entire world - Of course I came from gun happy murder and weapon capital Virginia where school shootings are a normal part of life. Vancouver has been the absolutely best place to raise kids and I am so grateful to live here. PS it is really complicated and hard to immigrate here so very very happy to be past all that hard work and just enjoy now being a citizen. Street addicts are not dangerous here like in the US there are no weapons on the street. This is all from a privileged white lady - if I was Indigenous the story would be very different.But that would take another big comment

In few words: If you are ok living in a 500 sq/ft shoe box and ready to give up the freedom of owning your own transportation, Vancouver is the city for you. If you are Canadian and your choice is either Vancouver or shoveling snow in winter in the rest of the country and you do not mind a very lousy job market, the city may look like paradise on earth. About the author describing Vancouver as "the best city in Northamerica" evidently he did not travel that much in the continent outside of Canada (the fact he considers Vancouver beaches "great" is a strong hint). Vancouver is definitely a nice city and the best that Canada can offer but I would use the superlatives more sparingly...if you can legally live in the US there are overall much better choices.

Vancouver is a great place but i disagree it’s where you’ll have the best quality of life. The rain really gets you down and even if you tolerate it, I find I was much happier living in Calgary where it’s sunny every day and people tend to be much nicer in places that get more sun. Not to mention the cost of living in Van being so high that really brings down your quality of life easily by needing to live in a crappy apartment or having to commute from far outside of the city for your job. I personally feel at the moment, vancouver is not worth the hype.

One major reason why you don’t see homeless etc in west van and north van compared to other parts is that there aren’t any services there. Downtown east side believe it or not has one of the highest concentrations of government services, NGOs and charities for these people hence they’re all around there. It’s why everyone gets pissed off when there’s potential news of a service or low income housing proposal in certain neighbourhoods. It’s unfortunate that we are taking in tourist visa refugees by the plane load and not fixing Canada for Canadians
