The only thing really aiding Surrey is the continued balkanization of Metro Vancouver into ridiculously small municipalities. For example, there is really no logical reason for Burnaby to exist as a civic entity separate from Vancouver other than tenuous thread of slightly different history. It should be one large city.

The suburb of Vancouver quite literally eclipsed the historical city of New Westminster.
