I love Washington, DC! It's one of my favourite cities, although the summer heat and humidity can be brutal.

What Washington (and almost every other great city in the world) has that Vancouver doesn't is history and the beautiful, historical buildings that that implies. If Vancouver were 100 years older, it would be much more interesting architecturally. But, it isn't.
