Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.
Its a complete joke that the Crescent Heights pathway is still a gravel path.

What’s worse is they’ve built a bike path on the street to prevent any parking for non residents now. They’ve also blocked road access to thru traffic. The biggest NIMBY neighbourhood in the city. The Mcmansion on the left has illegal no parking signs on their astroturf lawn.

Never heard it described that way before but that seems accurate. Also resembles a bank or cult compound. I hate that house so much. The Calgary construction forum over the last several years has consisted of little more than daily updates of that place being built by one forumer with a terrible camera phone.
Of course, I would as too busy griping to note that it's a very nice photo. Beautiful sky. Thanks for posting, Chad.

Haha I have heard multiple people say the same thing! Including myself. When viewed in detail, it looks like a fucking Bond villain’s lair. Like, the house is “protected” by a super easy to lightly-hop-over fence, and the pathway up to the main doors is lined by propane fire. Like literally actual fire. Who even the fuck are these people?

It's gotta be W. Brett Wilson's oil-fueled compound, I'm sure of it.
Good view of downtown Van, which I must say doesn't particularly stand out compared to Burnaby's other skylines, at least from this angle. Early November in Vancouver 41 by Foofoo MacShoe, on Flickr
