Plenty of empty condos and black market short term rentals. I guess the hotel industry lobbyist asked for a ban in Airbnb but played it like its going to help with the housing shortage. Another option is to fly in from Calgary in the morning to attend a game then fly out at night
Vancouver isn't ready. We're welcoming Fifa when there's a housing crisis, short-term rentals have been practically criminalized and since disallowing most short-term rentals, hotel prices have shot up.
I want to experience another World Cup in a cooler climate, so I'm coming for a month, even though I'm from 🇦🇺 and love my team, I'm coming to Vancouver and will book 12 months out.
I hope they get Broadway Subway done before FIFA 2026. Unfortunately due to Surrey being indecisive the Expo Line Langley extension won’t be done till 2028 alongside the UBC-X line from Arbutus to UBC. We’re also behind on the Purple and Gold (Haistings & Willingdon/41st Ave) metro systems. The FEDS need to step up their investment on the west coast. We pay higher taxes to Trudeau and always get less.
@@Gluteus.Maximus As someone who relies on transit almost everyday, I agree! It's got some problems but honestly I am so grateful for the clean,safe, and efficient system we got here! :)
The "greenest" owelympics expanded a highway instead of improving existing rail to Whistler. Here we go again catering to corporate advertising & hosting a sport party: just send them the memo from June 15, 2011. We tend to riot over insignificant sporting outcomes. Let's not even bother mentioning FIFA corruption.
Why not use the money to give health care to legal Canadian citizens, who have drug issues and to house legal Canadian citizens who don’t have a place to live. Just a thought. Oh and don’t forget the climate issue, the world is going to end in 2 years, unless all the people flying buy extra carbon credits(so the planes won’t cause any carbon issues) and the climate issue will be better, or as Mr.Trudeau says, the climate will be gooder.
Does it really matter? First come first serve. Big money gets it. It's a business. Why should we care? Even if visitors complain, it will NOT hurt Vancouver's status as a favourite destination. And sorry for locals - blame your parents for having and raising you but then decided to throw you without much into the real world of Vancouver living.
It never used to be until Canada sold it's sole after Expo 86 and the floodgates of immigration began - as well as the real estate & housing costs Previous to Expo and the decay, Van was actually a pretty cool city with lots of incredible pockets and of course affordable. Now it's ranked #1 as the most expensive per sq. ft. real estate market in the world behind only Hong Kong. The problem persists still today and it has had a direct impact on the rise in homelessness, addiction, crime, and mental health. Van used to be nice, but you're 100% right, ti's turned into an absolute dump! I can't imagine what it's going to look like in 2 more years for FIFA but I know it's going to be way worse than it is currently. Van is the Los Angelos of Canada...all the addicts come here!
Maybe in Tents at Hastings 😂😂😂
The homeless have been preparing us for years
I appreciate the humour in this, more youtube-y.

Can't wait for the city to try and ship the homeless to Chilliwack and Vancouver island again like they did in 2010
Vancouver is messed up to a point that it makes me sad and laugh and the same time lol
We are ready to support from Winnipeg. We have northern hotel.
insert "this is fine" meme
🤣
they'll need to deal with the bed bugs first
Don’t let the french in and we should be good
Nope! Transit system sucks and the Traffic is Worse before the games even get here!!
We have one of the best transit systems in north America

Who cares?? I don't. Nobody I know cares! All the poor will live in those hotels very soon.
It's 7 matches during a 3 week period. I think vancouver should be able handle it.
which begs the question where the homeless will be moved to
Vancouver can't even accommodate its own people...
They are not going to losen the rules on short term rentals.
Allow unlimited airbnb!
No one will be able to book hotels,
Vancouver builds too much condos lmao
Don't want it.
MMMMM, 15 billion for security likely
Reality check...
Just give them small countries so less ppl will show up
World Cup hosts countries were decided years ago. This decision is done many years before the World Cup is hosted.

Vancouver can not accommodate its own population, let alone hotel rooms for luxury events and conventions

I'm glad I don't live in vancouver. Why pay a premium for a lower quality of life. That place is a DUMP.
