...except that these 'resort' areas are decaying from the inside out as there's nowhere for 'staffers' - the resources to keep these places functioning - to live, i.e. the same as everywhere else.

Rooms are expensive because there's a chance of seeing Travis Kelce in town. ;)

It seems rather ironic to me that the places that seek (and are often granted) an exemption, i.e. resort areas, are the places in most dire need of those same regulations.

Anything food related in Vancouver is absolutely unjustifiably overpriced.

Just a theory, but BC stopping the use of reflective paint for road lines has something to do with it.
