I wonder why Vancouver is so "anti-corporate" as you say. Being such does not seem to help anybody, or do anything for the city.
Prices are still outrageous for a place to live, but being anti-corporate means there is "less of everything" for most people. I don't understand the 'why or the wherefore'.
Relating to no funding for the arts, I think that this is at least part of the reason why. A real loss, as a dynamic arts and music scene would inject new life, new blood, into Vancouver.
A very pertinent example of how economics and the arts are intertwined. I'd still love to know how to get around this - finding arts funding, that is. Does anybody know?
