And sure, ok, it's on the edge of downtown. Still, to me it's normal to get at first sight a very suburban-ish vibe from the bottom left part of the picture we're talking about. And the rest of the pic (with the grass, trees, and all that street level space) does not feel super urban either.
Which, again, is not supposed to be an insult. Unless on this forum, grit, graffiti, street level windows with bars, garbage bags outside doors, trash whirling with the wind, homeless people sleeping on the curb, concrete everywhere, smog, the smell of urine, the absence of trees and grass, and all the other typical caracteristics of extreme urbanity are unambiguously desirable, because this is SSP?
Thanks LeftCoaster for the context info...

Leo, it has been a lot of fun reading your posts. You certainly do not know anything about Vancouver. You are basically a troll with a very myopic insight! I am curious with your statement to LeftCoaster you have proved you have not been here before!
If you understand anything about the area you are talking about it is the crown jewel of Vancouver Stanley park. You go from extreme urban to a huge world class park. The main road from another crown jewel of Vancouver the lions gate bridge.
You need to understand the geography before you understand what you are talking about. You need to stick to Montreal and Merritt island FL
