Precisely. It's a lovely city, with many fine attributes, but lacks a real economy of scale (unlike Seattle, which has a real economy) and has little corporate power (just compare us with Calgary; dealt with in another thread)
It's a city with a delusion of grandeur. Either that grandeur is going to break and crumble, or, conversely, the city will one day live up to what it likes to believe itself to be.
