With a 4 second exposure, you can make a completely dark area of the city look like it has decent lighting. Plus, most of that lighting is coming from the suburbs and reflecting off the clouds. If you look above the downtown core, you can barely see anything there.
Likewise, the following:

# Camera Make = NIKON CORPORATION
# Camera Model = NIKON D50
# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 300/10 second = 30 second
# Lens F-Number/F-Stop = 90/10 = F9
Even with F9, it is still extremely long.
Using the same settings in New York, Hong Kong, etc would probably result in an almost completely white skyline.
So Vancouver hardly has a bright skyline as the photos make it out to be.
