- verelo 9y agoSeriously, it's like Seattle but without the jobs.
- pinewurst 9y agoAnd the jobs there don't pay very well. The food is wonderful though, better than Seattle IMHO and it's a lovely city in general.
- verelo 9y agoYeah, in my experience most of the US has shitty food. Take NY as an example, if you want an expensive meal you can get great food, but if you want a quick and healthy lunch you find yourself struggling.
- linkregister 9y agoAlmost any local New Yorker will know where to get a quick, healthy, $7-10 lunch. Someone in town for the day might have to open Yelp: https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Cheap+Fast+Lunch&find_loc=Chelsea,+Manhattan,+NY https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Cheap+Fast+Lunch&find_...
- verelo 9y agoI obviously need new friends.
- bdamm 9y agoTrue, but it's one of the comparatively few places in Canada that absolutely never experiences -20c, and normally doesn't have snow on the ground for longer than a couple days at a time (except this last winter.) Most other Canadian cities go through ice-building cycles in the late Autumn that can persist in neighborhood streets all the way through to late Spring.
- alacombe 9y agoTrue, but that's still better than -30degC and 2m of snow during winter; and +40degC (without humidex) during summer. So for Canada, yeah, that's pretty good.
- EnFinlay 9y agoHorrific is a major exaggeration since the weather is the least extreme of all major Canadian cities. Rain and clouds for months isn't horrific, it's bland.
- acchow 9y agoData shows Vancouver gets 10% less sunshine than Seattle. That's horrific.
- diogenescynic 9y agoIt's all relative. I'd rather live in Vancouver than Arizona or Texas. I'd rather deal with rain than extreme heat.
