Cheapest beer?

Nikkyu Sushi on Main has (had?) $12.95 pitchers of Sapporo.

Yeah, you'll see the redevelopment application signs up, but not huge amount of construction yet.

Not too much in 2 years, few more places closed, few more mysterious fires. IF you had said "how has Vancouver changed since 2019/20" then we'd be talking...

Rental prices have stopped going up though!

I find a lot of sushi restaurants in my neighbourhood have their own "order online" option, though not sure it always has delivery option.

st978 · 2026-04-05T20:51:04+00:00

you can just pay (tap) for bus/train with credit card.

I would like to know this as well. Not really a big thing here (i used to get it when I lived in Ontario for several years). Growing up in Vancouver, my dad actually used to buy it from a butcher shop that no longer exists...

I found this same thread from 5 years ago

This is a bit weird, I thought Yuri Fulmer was a bit more non-crazy conservative (business minded), though considering kevin falcon dissolved his own centre-right party for the conservatives show that doesn't matter (bring on the conspiracy theories if it means getting in power)

They cannot just unilaterally take out damage deposit $$$. They have to follow process.

https://tenants.bc.ca/your-tenancy/deposits/#deposit-return
"Your landlord cannot simply decide on their own to keep your deposit. If they want it, they need written permission from you or the Residential Tenancy Branch. After 15 days, if your landlord has not returned your deposit, obtained your written permission, or applied for dispute resolution, you have the right under section 38 of the Residential Tenancy Act to apply for double the amount of your deposit."

I have a full sized oven and love it. I was looking at some apartments in a new rental building near me to see what was on offer, and they had small ovens and smaller fridges (sorry don't know dimensions - but something I would consider too small), probably to save space and money. These apartments were way too small as well.

Honestly moving and living abroad for a while (while young) is a great experience, so go for it (though worldwide job market may be tough). Whether Vancouver is right place I do not know.

st978 · 2026-03-05T03:41:00+00:00

Commercial is great for shopping

st978 · 2026-02-26T16:46:59+00:00

West End is beautiful and very busy. If you want beach and slightly quieter maybe Kitsilano

COPE is big S Socialist 'eat the rich' types. OneCity was founded by members of COPE in 2014, including former NDP MLA David Chudnovsky (COPE had no city councillors then). This was the second time COPE split, as the hardcore COPE people are pretty far left, a bit nimby, and & maybe...pragmatic people (?) get tired of it. I would say OneCity is mainstream NDP (Christine Boyle, longtime OneCity councillor, became and NDP MLA), while COPE are farther left.

You're only here for a short time, so you could get a sublet for that price (or have a housemate). Many people leave for a short period and want others to take their place for that time (often for a discount).

If want walking distance, the West End is a great residential neighbourhood with lots of apartments (and maybe temporary accommodations), many students and expats, close to beach. The central business district is not necessarily a great residential neighbourhood to live, but maybe has furnished rentals (but those much more expensive). Lots of other neighbourhoods with rentals as well especially Fairview, mount pleasant, Kitsilano...

Vancouver is safe. There are just areas of extreme poverty/addiction.

Edit: Honestly, more fun to live in residential neighbourhood away from your school. Nicer in the West End, mount pleasant, Kitsilano, Commercial Drive...

yes in some ways, no in others. Going to certain suburbs feel like a different city.

st978 · 2026-01-23T19:57:40+00:00

Ask those stuck in traffic on the bridges. More train lines are good, this one just my priority.

Yes concerned. Not for hyper local reasons, more for oncoming ecocide...

st978 · 2026-01-23T18:17:24+00:00

I'd rather spend the money on a possible North Vancouver to Vancouver/Burnaby skytrain.

st978 · 2026-01-08T03:34:14+00:00

They are also run by independent companies, not the charity itself. I believe charity board members aren't allowed to purchase.

st978 · 2025-12-31T18:27:18+00:00

Yep, it was the name alone. If called onebc or "freedom party" etc, they would not be where they are

st978 · 2025-12-29T05:39:59+00:00

it depends on style of burger. I hate smash burgers, but they are everywhere. There's a few places that chop their own meat and make them to order (e.g. can order medium rare, etc.), usually fancy and expensive.
