You're not making any sense whatsoever. Implying that somehow a stadium surrounded by parking
with viaducts is better than without. Frankly, both scenarios are pretty terrible.
What makes Vancouver unique is the climate (temperate rainforest) and the geography (mountains and ocean).
You whine incessantly about Olympic Village being boring anywhere else. Sure, it might be, however it's extremely functional, with great views, on the water with parks and the seawall.
Those are the things that make Vancouver.
