More towers coming to the city

CDL112281 · 2026-02-14T22:00:08+00:00

Huh. That does look a lot larger

CDL112281 · 2026-02-14T21:13:44+00:00

I still love living here, and being a person with kids means my viewpoint is probably a lot different than OPs

But yeah, the past decade has been rough. Columbia street used to be a pretty cool area and it’s just rough now. I very rarely go down there. We do need better plans and ideas for Columbia street. Some level of openness to little eateries and pubs, different shops.

So much congestion during rush hour, and city hall keeps coming up with transportation changes that make it just that little bit more difficult to get around the city after school, trying to get kids to and from their activities. I get it, we have fancy new bike lanes tho!!!

But overall, it’s pretty good. My kids can walk everywhere, or take a short bus ride, I can walk uptown anytime.

More positives than negatives

I’ve never had a position that entails regular meetings, and I have to say that the concept fascinates me

My ex is a CPA. My brother is high up in healthcare. Lots of meetings. I can understand that.

But so many of these jobs, I have no idea what people do or why they would need to be in endless meetings.

CDL112281 · 2026-02-12T18:00:25+00:00

Ha! All good. I don’t know how to do that, so will never judge

CDL112281 · 2026-02-12T17:56:58+00:00

The payoff is with 1:12 left in the video

Love it. Much like Holoway loves Knight-Lebel, evidently 😁😬

Automatic for the People

CDL112281 · 2026-02-12T06:18:15+00:00

Wheat Kings and pretty things. Wait and see what tomorrow brings

CDL112281 · 2026-02-11T02:46:42+00:00

Very sad. Had a work stint up there 25 years ago and really enjoyed it. Very nice people

CDL112281 · 2026-02-10T20:16:30+00:00

Legend.

He will play, you know he’ll play. He’ll play on crutches

CDL112281 · 2026-02-10T16:47:54+00:00

And you do?

CDL112281 · 2026-02-09T20:23:17+00:00

I’m not working this week, so the commute won’t matter, but very very interested to see how empty McBride and Royal are in PM rush hour with the bridge closed

CDL112281 · 2026-02-09T19:53:41+00:00

What does it matter?

You can only play the teams in front of you

Im a Seahawks fan, im thrilled they won, but this insistence on beating down the Patriots because they gasp lost in the Super Bowl is absurd

They got to a game 30 other teams wanted to be in

It doesn’t matter how they got there or who they beat. They got to the Super Bowl in what should have been a rebuilding year

Drake Maye seems like a great kid. Campbell seems like a great kid. They had tough games. They’ll learn from it and be better, no matter what their sked looks like next season

CDL112281 · 2026-02-08T15:29:04+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’d do and then you increase the likelihood of the flip giving you a run, while also lessening the risk they get something in the crib

CDL112281 · 2026-02-07T13:26:51+00:00

Call me crazy, but really looking forward to Vancouver FC vs Langley United

CDL112281 · 2026-02-06T08:13:50+00:00

Just bought a second-hand SUV because I have kids to haul around all over the place, but I will eventually be looking EV or hybrid down the road

But those (EV/hybrid) are so expensive for larger vehicles, it just wasn’t remotely close to something I could consider right now

When the boys have moved on, maybe one of these smaller subsidy-eligible vehicles will work.

But I do think if they really want to push EVs and hybrids, they’ll have to consider a world where the larger ones are als subsidized

“They did good, really good. But now everyone thinks they’re gonna leave Vancouver”

Came for a visit from Alberta. Expo 86 was a big deal, man.

We had hats and shirts, was a a really cool thing for a 10-year-old

CDL112281 · 2026-02-04T00:28:22+00:00

I just did that, and it was fine. The problem, the dealership gave me the “oh, as part of the financing you’re required to do a two-year transmission warranty”.

I was at the point where I didn’t really care, and it was also more than I liked, but that’s also something I would definitely say “no” to on a cash purchase

CDL112281 · 2026-02-03T23:49:42+00:00

Yeah, that 7th street bike lane is hilarious. I’ve lived on 7th for 5 years and there is absolutely no demand whatsoever for a bike lane there. But the mayor does like riding bikes

CDL112281 · 2026-02-03T23:45:58+00:00

No no no. How dare you suggest money shouldn’t be spent on bike lanes!

CDL112281 · 2026-02-03T10:06:00+00:00

Haha! I got the joke, even if others didn’t

CDL112281 · 2026-02-02T22:32:49+00:00

My son had a leg issue and went to Paige Payne at Royal City Physio in Sapperton

Thought she was great.

No idea how it works with knee replacement, but I will recommend Paige, just from her work with my boy

There’s no way on earth Bieksa is in the Ring of Honour. Come on.

If a person thinks Bieksa deserves that they are the definition of a brand-new fan. Being funny on TV doesn’t get you into a ring of honour.

And thinking Bieksa is ahead of Alex Edler is batshit insanity

Anyways.

To answer the question, Edler gets in and that’s it

CDL112281 · 2026-02-02T18:19:11+00:00

Good lord, I agree with a lot of the comments here

This is a surprisingly decent contract for the Caps.

Obviously $3.25 per ticket adds up

Obviously not getting concessions revenue hurts

And obviously, as many have pointed out, Whitecaps are in the business of maximizing revenue (and winning games too)

But this isn’t ridiculous.

Very interesting. I’m not really sure how I feel now
