Interesting video, very informative. The city should keep expanding the SkyTrain, to make it easier for people to commute into Vancouver. Otherwise, it's out of reach for most people.
@baoluan1288 Thabknyou, i appreciate that! More skytrain would definitely be welcome. They’ve been consistently expanding it since it’s original introduction for expo 86…the most recent expansion is current under way along Broadway in Vancouver and next up is expanding from Surrey out to Langley. The problem is the number of levels of government involved and funding…but we are seeing much more expansion and concerted effort in this direction than say…Toronto has been recently.
Interesting. I didn't know that...but just looked it up. Paris (intra muros) is actually smaller! 87 sq km (I think that's about the same as New Westminster) than Vancouver which is about 115sq km...Thanks for pointing this out!
Wanting to move Vancouver as a British citizen currently, wanting to use my engineering skills to make permanent. What neighbourhood would u suggest starting my career off but living comfortably, thank you
Hi @user-gl4xe5oz5g! Thanks for checking out the channel. There's a lot of factors that go into deciding which is the best neighborhood/suburb to live in. I can't give you a definitive answer based on the limited information and parameters that you've given me...but a great place to start for you would be my Best Neighborhoods in Vancouver playlist (th-cam.com/play/PL9gRIaRTT0DS9Umm_EfLIGmoXsP9hEcmf.html)!
Do you mean the downtown eastside, or Hastings Sunrise? They're very different areas...but Hastings Sunrise is actually a very nice family-oriented neighborhood....the center of the homelessness/drug addiction issues in Vancouver are at the downtown eastside.
What has surprised YOU about Vancouver?

Perfect weather for those that can get exposed to sun.
@Eag757 I think you meant to write "Perfect weather for those that CAN'T get exposed to sun"? :)
Fun fact : Vancouver has the same size as Paris " intra muros". Metro Paris is gigantic though.

@@LivingInVancouver-BC yes but if you add the 2 urban parks that are part of the Paris municipality it's 105 sqkm
Ah ok!

Hastings sunrise 👀

Seems pretty unlivable to me
@hovikkevork3069 What seems unlivable about Vancouver to you?
@@LivingInVancouver-BC Living costs, too many people
@topgyogafire6753 Sounds like Vancouver isn't a fit for you...hopefully you found a spot that suits you better!
