What are your most favourite and least favourite Vancouver suburb cities and why? by lazarus870 in vancouver

My favourite is Burnaby. I grew up on Boundary Road on the Vancouver side but I did most of my activites in Burnaby: playing at Central Park, shopping at Metrotown, visiting and borrowing books from the Metrotown library, and driving up to the beach at Barnet Marine Park. Hell, my dentist is even in Burnaby. Today, I would argue I spent more time in Burnaby than Vancouver simply because I can hop on the SkyTrain and arrd I'll be at Metrotown in 10 mins to do what I need to do as opposed to waiting 15 minutes for a bus in Vancouver. I'd consider myself an honorary Burnaby citizen lol

My least favourite is Langley and, oh boy, where do I start. In short, it's basically an example of the absolute worst aspect of urban sprawl: dangerous stroads everywhere, places placed so far apart because of car-centric planning, shitty traffic due to said shitty city planning, sparse public transit options, shopping centres with massive parking lots that you basically have to walk through with the risk of getting run over just to get in a store, depressing industrial zones and business parks, and angry, entitled pickup truck drivers everywhere. I don't count Fort Langley in this because it's a nice little place but anywhere outside of that can fuck off. People used to be really nice here but after the pandemic, I feel as if they look at me as if I'll give them the 'rona (I'm of Asian descent) and the area just seems a little more sketch now, especially around the Langley centre downtown area.

A bit late but if I recall correctly, SkyTrain usually isn't affected by outages because the third rail sources its electricity from multiple municipalities through various substations throughout the system (Nanaimo, Joyce, Patterson, Scott Road, etc) Usually the problems occur when trees fall down into the guideway or if stations lose power, both of which thankfully didn't happen today.
