I misinterpreted the headline the mean that the city was continuously surrounded by roads, e.g. a wild animal trying to reach the city could not without crossing a road somewhere.
- SkittyDog 5y agoThat's literally true of every regular city block, so it woukd seem a strange headline. I don't know what timezone you're in, but maybe you need a cup of coffee?
- maybeOneDay 5y agoNot OP but a city block isn't an entire city. If you read their comment again without prejudice you may be able to understand what they meant, even if it does require a little imagination.
- leafmeal 5y agoMaybe I'm missing something, but if a city is composed of city blocks and by induction then a whole city is surrounded by roads.
- xvedejas 5y agoPlenty of cities have greenways that lead into parks considered "part of" the city. Such parkland might not feel like the inner city, indeed ideally it has minimal street intrusion, but still can be part of the fabric of good city living.
- Kranar 5y agoWhen a premise leads to a false conclusion, you should reconsider your premise.
- maybeOneDay 5y agoI think the sentence is best read as "a wild animal could not reach the city without crossing a road that is not considered part of vancouver proper". Seems clear that that's the intended meaning

- cf100clunk 5y agoShould be: "Vancouver is now completely cut off by road from the rest of Canada"
- dang 5y agoOk, we've replaced the article title with its first sentence, which is clearer.
