[@smallstudiodesign]

Vancouverite here: We absolutely never refer to our region as “the Pacific Southwest” ; instead we refer to our position, as: - the “ *Lower Mainland* “(of B.C.) or - the “ *South Coast* ” (of B.C.) or - the “ *West Coast* ” (of 🇨🇦) and, when talking with Americans, we identify ourselves as part of - the “ *Pacific Northwest* ” (of North America)

[@rivellr]

Yeah ive never heard of the term Pacific South west I understand that it makes sense for Canada but when I think of that I think of Tijuana or San Diego

[@OnwardsUpwards]

This is a great point, that the whole Pacific Northwest term is an extension of the American term for the PNW of the USA. Some just started lumping BC in. I don't like the term. Geographically speaking, BC is not in the pacific northwest of the continent. Perhaps the Pacific midwest?@@rivellr

[@retrop1783]

Grew up a few years in the Interior, we just call it the City or Metro Vancouver.. south coast also

[@A_T__]

Yup

[@Dr.JudeAEMasonMD]

My city! I also lived in Seattle for 4 years. Vancouver is so much more vibrant. PNW is only helpful to orient Americans who assume that if you’re Canadian that you must live in or near Toronto.

[@FXwashere]

Fun fact: There used to be an NBA team in Vancouver called the Vancouver Grizzlies from 1995 to 2001. They unfortunately relocated to Memphis after 6 seasons. Their logo was so sick!

[@BrendanP]

We could sure use a basketball team nowadays. They'd get a very healthy support.

I was in Vancouver, it's more like 90% diverse.

[@Link9058]

it can certainly feel like that but still close to half the population is of white european descent

[@5minutesaway]

Diversity (multi racialism) is a codeword for anti white and retarded imigration policies. When is china and south asia becoming multiracial?

[@axisboss1654]

@@Link9058Go to the suburbs and it the vast majority of us are still white. Also even if the suburbs are 90% white we still have ancestry from all over Europe so that is still multiethnic.

60 sec cities with a 20 second intro

[@checory]

Vancouverite here (for over 20 years). We British Columbians usually call the Vancouver and Vancouver Island region the "south coast", and Canada-wise it's the "West Coast". Yes, housing cost is a huge issue here since we have the warmest weather in Canada.

[@viniciuslima88]

Warmest weather isn't the main reason housing is almost unattainable in BC. There's a lot more to that unfortunately...

[@BDOKV]

I just call it 'the coast' or 'the lower mainland'

[@davidgrech4574]

Thank you Geoff for the wonderful video and I hope you have a great rest of your week 🌞

[@sunny2355]

As Canadian myself, I want to tell everyone on internet. Normal Canadian can never afford to live in Vancouver

[@timh2356]

Thanks internet Canadian!

[@SurprisinglyDeep]

That's why most people in the region don't live in the city itself. They live somewhere else in the Metro Vancouver metropolitan area. If you can't live in Vancouver itself then it's possible to live somewhere else nearby like Surrey or Burnaby or Richmond or Langley instead.

[@Nothern_King]

​@@SurprisinglyDeephouses in those suburbs are also 1.5 million+. The only people who can afford a house are the filthy rich or Chinese people trying to move money out of China. Canadians need to rent shoe box apartments for $2500/month

[@SurprisinglyDeep]

@@Nothern_King Rent in Surrey, Richmond or Abbotsford for one person is not $2500 a month. This is why roommates are a thing.

[@Nothern_King]

@@SurprisinglyDeep you do realise people can just go on rent faster and look rentals up and see that they are in this price range and more? Sure if you share with someone you pay half, but that then isn't your home, it's a shared home. Western democracies shouldn't be aiming for their populations to live in shared accommodation whilst working full time when the previous generation had a house and a family on one income. That isn't progress and if you think it is you're brainwashed.

[@Geoe423]

No one calls it the pacific southwest lol

[@stevecannon1774]

Vancouver is great but my heart still pulls to Victoria BC

[@generyde9173]

I'm from BC. Vancouver is home to crazy amounts of crime and beautiful tent cities. Plenty of drugs too. Liberal governments have made this a must see destination. Go see the interior. It's far friendlier and a bit cheaper.

[@yourlifeexplainedbyme.4666]

These are fun to watch bro!

[@paulabarra5431]

Best way to describe vancouver. It is beautifully expensive. Want to move into the city prepare yourself to pay over 2700 for a room 30 minutes away from downtown west end. And over 3000 for a studio in downtown.

[@axisboss1654]

Surrey has already overtaken Vancouver in population

[@billythekid1961]

vancouver is great

[@iammert_915]

Wow I love Canada! ❤

[@jodlen49]

Love B.C., love Vancouver Island, but Vancouver has gone the way of most North American Coastal cities - a haven for the homeless who do not want a home, and do not want to work...

[@SurprisinglyDeep]

Sadly you're not wrong.

[@Nothern_King]

100% this. Governments supporting drug use and soft on crime.

[@walterj89]

Lets also mention that there are in fact 3 Vancouver's right there. West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Vancouver. All different cities, where only Vancouver proper was showed in the video. And then on top of that the District of North Vancouver and North Vancouver city are different. Then just south is Vancouver, Washington. Throw in that Surrey, Richmond, New Westminster Coquitlam are all nearby and cities on their own.
