I’m always baffled how Vancouver always makes it to the top of these lists. I’ve visited the city several times. It’s decent. But there isn’t anything special

I’m always baffled how Vancouver always makes it to the top of these lists. I’ve visited the city several times. It’s decent. But there isn’t anything special about it other than the view and that it’s surrounded by nature. Everything else is bland. No architecture, boring city planning, average transport for a big city, completely unaffordable housing, food is just as generic as everywhere, major homeless issue, weather is gloomy.
