I can't help but laugh when anyone suggests that Brentwood is nicer than Metrotown today. Brentwood has a long way to go. There are some exciting developments there but it will be a while before it feels like an organic, urban neighbourhood. Metrotown is way ahead with great shopping, a huge forested park, a mature walk-up apartment neighbourhood, big office towers, the quirky Crystal Mall, etc...
Don't get me wrong, Metrotown has a lot of room for improvement as well, like Old Orchard, the 3 or 4 empty/dead department stores, and a severe lack of nightlife, but Brentwood will be playing catchup for a long time, as great as The Amazing Brentwood development is.
