That's a very interesting thought. I've also noticed that in Metro Vancouver the majority of pubs are on busy streets or in dense city areas, rather than neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the people I know (mostly 20-somethings) tend to gravitate towards the city core for social outings, and so I end up very rarely trying the few neighborly pubs in the suburbs.
