- bialpio 5y agoIt's effectively become a Canadian version of Port Roberts. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Roberts,_Washington https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Roberts,_Washington
- iso1631 5y agoExcept Point Roberts (not Port) is just a residential area that isn't self sufficient in any way, and doesn't have thousands of containers arriving for shipping inland
- bialpio 5y agoSigh, brain lag. At least the wiki link I pasted was correct. Nothing to add to your point about self-sufficiency, my intent was to draw parallels to the comment I was responding to. ("It's [Vancouver] essentially a peninsula, it still has road and rail links to Washington State." <=> "It's [Point Roberts] a peninsula, it still has road links to British Columbia.").
