(not just some as we do now). I don't need to have lived through WW2 to know that it wasn't exactly the best time in world history. Same thing applies here. Again, for a region that has more than quadrupled in population since that era, the city hasn't exactly lit it up when it comes to the development of "fun" things to do and in recent history has even lost some.
Finally, it is possible to bring up points without needing to stoop down to the level of using personal attacks.

this is a quote from an article i read earlier... i think it was quite true - dubai made a lively shop and cafe lined seawall

Dubai Marina’s seawall is an obliging urban festival; Vancouver’s seawall is an obligation to exercise.

its funny cause its true
