The Economist is raising awareness about what it excitingly labels an intractable problem: "Cities strive to become nicer places in which to live. Yet the more they succeed the less interesting they become."
You're always at risk of nodding off when looking up at the Coast Mountains. Ugh, can you imagine skiing them? Yawn city.
Told ya.
When the Canucks lost in the Stanley Cup finals, everyone in Vancouver quietly turned off their TV sets and tried to catch up on some sleep.
Another dull Vancouver day.
Snooze-orama.
Remember when it hosted the Olympics? Zzzzzzzzzz.
Vancouverites tend to be very passive about things they disagree with, be it new laws or major pipeline proposals. There is never any news.
Stanley Park is a massive, humdrum public park in the heart of the city. It's everything wrong with Vancouver.
In Vancouver, everybody pretty much follows the law, and nobody parties.
People hit the snooze button when Vancouver created North America's first and only legal injection site to help those suffering from drug addiction. Way to choose the safe, super-boring option, Vanlosers.
Vancouver's rich history of aboriginal culture and art has also been making The Economist sleepy.
Ugh, did we mention the beaches? Nude ones, too? Welcome to Mundanesville.
So thanks to The Economist for finally speaking the truth about Vancouver. Thanks also for their great list of things to see and do when visiting Vancouver, which was just published in their Intelligent Life supplement.
