Somewhat off topic, but is Marpole considered the East Side by some? It doesn't really feel West Side-y to me but it doesn't feel all that East Side-y to me either. It's industrial, there's a lot of cookie-cutter 70s-00s spec houses, and it's full of old walkups which definitely feels East Side-y. Yes, yes, "Ontario Street" but when you get that far south I think the definition might break down a bit.
Anecdotally as an East Sider who is "blessed" to have very mature trees down my street, I definitely feel the health "benefits" when I'm raking leaves in the pouring rain, climbing ladders to clear my gutters, and lifting broken branches off my car windshield. I could do without those "benefits".
