Wealth and Income Inequality in Vancouver, British Columbia
three local expertsLeave a comment
Vancouver is a beautiful city surrounded by mountains and Pacific Ocean beaches. It also has an issue with homelessness and drug overdoses causing an influx of crime and assaults within certain communities in the downtown core. Kitsilano, on the south-west side of the city, is a very laid-back community that encourages cycling, is a hub for eco-friendly artisan shops and also has a low crime rate. The “North Shore” is a large recreational hub consisting of various walking trails, water-based recreation and ski hills that is situated on the northern side of the city on your way to Squamish and Whistler.
Vancouver is probably one of the most overrated cities in the world. It’s known for its “good” climate — for Canada, sure. There are plenty of places that are warmer without being too hot, and which don’t suffer from extreme housing prices or homelessness. You can go skiing and windsurfing in the same day, but nobody except the super-rich do anything like that.
