I totally love Vancouver and I was very excited to see everything that was being built last time I visited (in 2005). I stayed at the Opus Hotel, and although I had heard some people dismissing the whole Yaletown area as a yuppy condo-land, I rather liked the atmosphere of the place, with its shops and cafés. It was admitedly not a heart-stopping place and at some points it looked rather bland. I was wondering about those other developments in the Northern part of the downtown peninsula, around Coal Harbour and West Georgia Street. I remember that despite it being a pretty nice day, the area was pretty dead and no one seemed to be out and about. Has that changed? Construction has continued and I was wondering if any of those places had actually turned the area into a place where people would actually want to hang out in... Or are those condos just speculative investment for real-estate developers and inhabited just a few weeks of every year, if at all?
