Vancouver is THE best city I've been to, and i've travelled quite a bit. The closest comparison I found is Austin, TX. Beautiful city, with lots of trees and birds and stuff. Sure, there are bad things. Like the occasional gang violence, shitty health care, high taxes, but to me it's totally worth it. Get this: world-class skiing is 60 minutes from my house, the beach is 10 minutes away. We get about one snowfall a winter in town, and it's gone within a few days. Winter average is about 5C during the day, and summer average is about 22C during the day. How sweet is that? You do grow webbed toes, though.
