At least we're Number #1 at something!...Bad Roads, Crappy City Planning



However, rival city Calgary ranked as the best in Canada:

QuoteStill, the kfzteile24 study provides an interesting look at the five Canadian cities that made the list. It takes into account nine parameters. They include: congestion levels based on data from TomTom, public transport options, the cost of parking, cost of gasoline and diesel, air pollution, the average speed between the city centre and the international airport, road fatalities, road quality and road rage. From those data points, it distilled them to come up with its ranked list of 100 best and worst. Globally, Düsseldorf, Germany ranked No. 1 while Kolkata, India, ranked worst overall and last at 100.



In Canada, only Calgary, Alberta, presented well. Congestion caused by "temporary" construction work was not taken into account for the study, so Toronto and Montreal got a boost they don't currently deserve. Still, of the five Canadian cities, all fall within the top 50 in the study, the lowest-ranked Vancouver scored 48 out of 100. Put another way, Vancouver ranks as the worst place to drive in Canada among its biggest cities but middle of the pack compared with the rest of the world, according to kfzteile24. That's followed by Ottawa as the next worst, Toronto in third place, Montreal at second and finally, Calgary, as the best Canadian city in which to drive.

...anyways, for those who thought I was trolling/kidding, it's now been verified by experts internationally and it is...an irrefutable fact.

Angry White Male

Vancouver (and surrounding areas) is a fucking shithole.



I was born and raised here, but now all I want to do is get out.



It's a Chink and Paki infested dump, which only caters to the highest bidding Chinks.



White people, time to get the fuck out of here, sell the property for a gain, and leave this shithole for the Browns and Yellows to destroy even more.



Get a fucking grip, Whitey...  Chink does not CARE if traffic is congested, since Chink does not have to drive to work anyhow...



Money is made in Hong Kong, so only leisure time in Vancouver, with wife and kids, or daughters parking their fucking asses here, utilizing our healthcare and school systems, while paying ZERO in taxes.



And Joe?  The closing of schools?  Which ones?



Every Elementary school that I drive by in Van during work seems operational, teaching the students that are 99% Chinese there, how to speak fucking English before they can even start on the "regular and normal" curriculum.

Call me a racist if you want, but I want to reiterate...  I hate no one person personally.



When a certain group itself gets overwhelming, this leads to problems.

What an ignorant fool.

Vancouver is a poorly laid out city in terms of traffic.  There's no major freeway that goes to the downtown core.  It's struggled to keep up with transportation infastructure for a LONG time.

Sounds like Vancouver has sold out to Globalism, just like London and many other cities around the world.  Liberals will tell you it's 'progress' and cosmopolitan cities are all part and parcel of living in the 21st century, when in reality, it just means less and less white people.

I have told you already that Vancouver was less than 50% white since at least 2011.  It also routinely ranks as one of the most livable cities in the world.

Its not livable...thats just bs.



This city is ridiculous.  The infrastructure is useless.  Have you seen the peak hours of traffic???  



They need to stop packing everyone in sardine tin high rises at their cubical jobs in Vancouver alone...they need to start branching out their offices and employees to Delta or Langely where there is more room and it should ease out the traffic...not much but it would be less of a parade.



There are also tonnes of streets that are in desperate need of repair, they are crumbling, falling apart and pot holes everywhere....but instead they keep ripping up roads that are fine or have previously been paved 6 months or a year ago, all over again???? This I can not comprehend???  Why?? For Gods sakes...the main road where I live has been ripped up and repaved 3 years in a row!!  There was ZERO need to do this!!!

RW

Berry, I know they've been doing a lot of piping upgrades.



Traffic congestion makes it less liveable for sure.  I agree completely about decentralizing offices.  I think that would fix a lot of issues with traffic.  The bike lane thing was ridiculous.
