The Globe and Mail says that other cities are looking to Vancouver for guidance, and Vancouverism refers to the idea that
What's so uniquely Vancouver about that?

They must be some desperate if they are looking to Vancouver for solutions. Except perhaps to NOT do what Vancouver does.
Even going back a couple of decades ago the west end of Vancouver was one of the most densely populated regions per square mile in North America. And since then it is even more so. I think what the writer is saying is it might be better to have that than to have a pile of parking lots along with urban sprawl.
Cities are urban concentration camps. Vancouver is just one of them. Overcrowding will inevitably cause crowded rat syndrome, which seems to be coming along well with all the gang violence and other criminal activity. Hmmm! I wonder why there is a serious drug problem in Vancouver (as well as most cities?)
I'd lived in crowded chinese cities, I'd visited Hong Kong, and quite frankly I'm impressed by their efficient use of space. They don't have much by way of suburbs there. You decide. Do you want to live in the city or the country. Make your choice. In the far east they don't have space to waste on suburbs. In that sense I totally agree with Vancouver's approach. You want to live in the city, then live in teh city.
We're expanding to the Fraser Valley, which would soon be part of Greater Vancouver, just as Surrey has become part of Greater Vancouver. But, if there's more people, there will be more business.
It wouldn't be so bad if they would have built some roars around the city. N-S traffic through Vancouver id retarded. Can''t get downtown anymore either cause mayor moonbeam turned half the streets into bike lanes for his friends.
This kind of stupidity is not restricted to Vancouver. Seems to be epidemic of sports fans world wide. At least Vancouverites don't shoot the ref when they don't like their call.Vancouverism?
I think Vancouver is the leader in this regard. Go ahead and chant. Vancouver is #1. Just don't burn any cars while doing it.
Vancouverism?
I can't figure out if the guy on the right is a Jedi or a Hobbit.
Well I guess Jedi's wouldn't be hanging out in a riot.
Nevermind.
That guy wearing the Canucks jersey looks familiar. It's Dustin Byfuglien.Vancouverism?
