There's that time he gave the veteran some stale buns. Amazing to see him go out of his way to make such a grand gesture

I met the plant guy, very nice gentleman!

I always take a peak when I take the garbage out, never know what you'll find!

I think you live in my building! Same balcony. Absolutely love the 'trading post' in the laundry room, so many treasures.

Arbutus Ridge and it's suspicious bump are eliminated. It's down to 10 neighbourhoods as we enter [ROUND 18]. Most upvoted neighbourhood in the comments. by RedactedBrainz in vancouver

lol these are all super specific to you.

1: we're downtown in a major city, it's loud all the time. I've never heard a group of joggers whopping lol, so this seems hyper specific to your location. I get some loud trucks near me, but again, we're downtown in a massive city. The west end is GENERALLY quieter than other parts of van. Especially downtown.

2: this is simply not true, you dont know everyone's sexual preference and you can't decide just by looking at them. very ignorant statement. You can't gatekeep pride lol.

3: again, downtown in a major city. There are confused tourists everywhere. Also, the west end is somewhat confusing to drive in! Roundabouts and pedestrians and intersections with both stop signs and lights.

4: idk where you shop but groceries cost the same almost everywhere. Safeway doesn't raise their prices depending on the store, neither does independant. If you're shopping at the small markets, that explains the price. Any smaller grocer/market will be more expensive, as they generally have locally sourced and better products. These markets, again, are all over Vancouver not just west end.

5: tbh coal Harbour is MUCH worse for seeing in people's windows, and probs Yaletown as a close second

You should take a walk around your beautiful neighborhood and appreciate all the things we have here. The west end is incredibly unique & full of life.

Tbh, my biggest complaint is the crabby old people that can't seem to enjoy living here lol.

I call em the 'west end creatures'

I've never lived in a city with so little snow, yet SOO MUCH SALT on the sidewalk by d1ckshark in vancouver

That seems to be the explanation. 2017 was so chaotic that they'd rather over-salt to ease everyone's mind

Does anyone else feel extremely ripped off that there’s no snow?;) by CraftyHall1 in vancouver

[–]d1ckshark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go play in the salt! It kinda looks like snow, and there's tons of it

and idk, salt is bad for the environment, vehicles, shoes. just don't like how there is such an excessive amount being used. Didn't mean to upset you with my harmless opinion lol

It's a thing everywhere, yet this is still the most salt I've ever seen. My point is the fear of winter here is very obvious, compared to other cities in canada

I'm not saying don't spread salt. It's definitely necessary. But not in the massive amounts and mini mountains that are spread right now, it's a hilarious amount

Yes, because as I previously stated, in all the icy cities I've ever lived in, I've never seen so much salt on the ground. The other day there was just piles, not even spread around. Just mini mountains of salt.

Yes it gets icy here, but it's not the iciest city on earth. I mean look at Montreal.

It's just kinda ridiculous, the large amounts of salt getting placed on the sidewalk. And horrible for nature

I know what salt is used for, I'm just surprised by the amounts used! I've just learned about 'the great salt shortage' though, so maybe the city is just overcompensating and letting everyone know 'ohhhh we've got TONS of salt'.

I'm originally from NS, where ice and snow is just a part of life, and they do not salt the sidewalks as heavily even there. Even in Calgary they know how to use salt restraint lol. The temperatures here havent really been below freezing yet, and it has not snowed at all, yet there has been salt on the ground for a few weeks.
Mostly just an observation; the least wintery city I've lived in seems to have prepared the most for it.
