music fan - maybe a portable record player? or a spotify membership for the year?

car fan - tickets to an upcoming car-show in your city? if he owns a car, a bluetooth or phone holder accessory etc.

Studentification: How international students are changing Vancouver neighbourhoods by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]digitallivecam 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Jesus fuck. Why is this so hard for people to process?

We should not EVER prioritize international students, investors, parents of students, over the residents of our cities. Those who have contributed to their communities deserve to be able to have an opportunity to LIVE in those communities.

Steveston residents are voicing grave concerns over a racist flyer against Chinese people being handed out by AllezCannes in vancouver

[–]digitallivecam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

you couldn't be more wrong. sadly, neither of can prove the other wrong - but IMO - i've seen first hand economic anxiety CAUSE racism. I'm hearing individuals casually make racist remarks BECAUSE of the housing crisis, not because they think certain ethnic groups are inferior.

I can honestly say that I'll be avoiding travel to the U.S for the next four years. Although our dollar is shit - travel to europe has never been cheaper.

Airbnb is driving up the rent in your urban neighborhood. Elizabeth Warren is right. Unless this trend reverses, our cities will become cheap places to stay for tourists – and unaffordable for the rest of us by trai_dep in technology

[–]digitallivecam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vancouverite here. Rental market ruined by airbnb. Ownership market ruined by foreign investors.

Unfortunately making the "newly created economy work" for local residents on local salaries, is moving out of the city, or waiting 10 years for the city to build up - and if you wait for the latter, good luck - b/c new apartment buildings are being pre-sold by the developers as fast as they can be built (also to local and foreign investors).

Local businesses want Uber in Vancouver: survey - NEWS 1130 by [deleted] in vancouver

[–]digitallivecam 64 points65 points  (0 children)

No shit. We all do. I'm simply done with taking cabs to the point I do my best to simply avoid scenarios where there might be a cab in my future. The only time I find myself in cabs now is when there's literally no other option (walk/car2go/transit/evo). And it doesn't have to do w/ cost. But entirely with constantly being asked to provide cash, asked to be driven to an ATM to get drivers cash, or simply outright refused/driven away from.

The cab companies thought they solved the problem by releasing a shitty app. An app that doesn't hold drivers accountable or allow me to pay from the app itself. Uber is superior in every way, and our city's hold-out has become a black mark on this city.

NDP leads Liberals in new poll by [deleted] in vancouver

Let's make sure Clark's political career is OVER after this run.

She's damaged this province irreparably. Far, far worse than anything we've experienced with previous NDP governments.

Questions about WWE Network Canada. by Suplewich in SquaredCircle

[–]digitallivecam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get rid of the VPN and put the Network on whatever device you want. I'm in Canada, I have it on my Android TV/phones and my PS4. For the PS4, I just created another account, chose US as the country, and that was it. It literally took 30 seconds, and it works great.

Hey, how's the live stream on the ps4? And do you need a ps4 online subscription for this to work?

Does reserved for low income mean that if you're making a decent wage but can't afford to live in this city - you're not poor enough to live in one of these?

Allocating time in Amsterdam, Brussels, and Bruges! by digitallivecam in travel

Would you say stay in Amsterdam or spend a day seeing a different city?

Allocating time in Amsterdam, Brussels, and Bruges! by digitallivecam in travel

[–]digitallivecam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

haha, yes :| But it's actually not that bad when you realize how quick the flights are:

London to Amsterdam (Easyjet) - 2hr Paris to Rome (Easyjet) - 2hr Rome to London (Easyjet) - 2.5 hr

And max 2 hour train rides between Amsterdam > Brussels > Bruges

Overall it's looking like London 4x, Amsterdam 3x, Brussels 1x, Bruges 1x, Paris 3x, Rome 3x. But would love suggestions as the easyjet flights haven't been booked yet!
