I don't want to go and I likely won't, but my anger with this city and the current trajectory of it's housing market and destruction of everything that made this city once grand is pushing me away.
Tearing down of Landmark is the last straw for me and shows this city now literally only cares about easy money and appeasing a bunch of rich old slimy boomer property owners who oppose anything that stands in the way of their perfect little village by the sea vancouver they remember.
Sorry for the profanities but I'm sick and tired of this shit."

Things aren't that bad. Chinatown is becoming a functional neighbourhood, Main Street has emerged in the last 10 years and is even getting better as businesses are opening along the DT section of Main. Now Fraser Street is becoming a neat little area. Same with Hastings sunrise. Imo, the city is getting better.
