I could do that. Or I could fuck off back to Ontario with my wife and kid instead.

This place is run by clowns and the generation Y crowd that voted them in is in complete fucking la-la land.

Honestly, I love the freefall plummet this city is in. Out of all the places in this country I've been to, it's the people in this city who need a fucking reality check.

This city is nothing special and it grows worse by the day. Get over it. Stop trying to be something you're not and that you can never ever be. That lunatic mayor has been at it for nearly a decade and living conditions are going down the shitter faster than a burger from Vera's Burger Shack.

Take your studies, shove them up your ass and use your god damn eyes.

If Vancouver sucks so bad then why the fuck did you even move here to begin with?

[–]vancirclejerk 2ポイント3ポイント  (45子コメント)

Because my wife chose UBC. She can't afford it here either and she's transferring out for the next semester. I don't know how any of that works, but she's going to have to because these 10 hour days aren't paying the bills.

[–]Chris266 6ポイント7ポイント  (44子コメント)

Welp, have fun back in Ontario. I'm sure all the grass will be a perfect shade of green there and there will be nothing to complain about at all.

[–]vancirclejerk -4ポイント-3ポイント  (24子コメント)

Ah yes, the cliché sarcastic Vancouver response to anyone who mentions leaving.

Get your head out of your ass and realize that Vancouver is not the amazing world class city you want it to be. It's a shithole to anyone who works for a living.

[–]Chris266 4ポイント5ポイント  (23子コメント)

Then leave. You won't be missed. I work for a living and enjoy it here.

People like you put vegans and crossfitters to shame in your ability to tell everyone something nobody gives a shit about. I bet even if you do move back to Ontario you will come back here every chance you get so you can continue to tell everyone here about how you left horrible Vancouver and now live a perfect life in a perfect house that you own.

[–]vancirclejerk -5ポイント-4ポイント  (22子コメント)

You won't be missed.

Plenty of new "Canadians" who don't intend to assimilate that will be happy to take my place, that's for sure.

[–]fan_22 10ポイント11ポイント  (21子コメント)

Plenty of new "Canadians....."

And there you have it.

[–]vancirclejerk -3ポイント-2ポイント  (20子コメント)

The truth hurts, don't it? This shit city is filling with people who don't give a fuck about this country and are just looking to exploit our housing market and our city's goodwill.

Tell me, what angle do you have to kowtow at to ensure the best interest rate from the bank?

[–]fan_22 4ポイント5ポイント  (19子コメント)

It's filling with entitled white assholes from other provinces too.

[–]A_Genius -4ポイント-3ポイント  (18子コメント)

I mean I work and I like it here. Im always thinking I can't afford to buy a house in New York, Milan, Paris, London or Tokyo I can't afford one here either. Plus rent is really cheap here. You can grab a 1 bedroom condo downtown for 1200 dollars. That's not too bad.

Don't do drugs, kids.

[–]Chris266 0ポイント1ポイント  (16子コメント)

Ya, cause buying a house is the only thing to do in life. Everything else that Vancouver has to offer means nothing.

[–]A_Genius -2ポイント-1ポイント  (15子コメント)

Vancouver has so many things to offer and if you don't think so you're not looking very hard. Great university, can go skiing and surfing in the same day. Absolutely beautiful, nice people, low crime. It's no wonder people want to live here.

[–]vancirclejerk 2ポイント3ポイント  (7子コメント)

nice people

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Holy shit. You're serious? You're actually serious!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[–]Chris266 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well we know that at least one unfriendly person is moving back to Ontario.

[–]A_Genius 0ポイント1ポイント  (4子コメント)

Fine everyone here is an asshole, but travel to Boston or New York and tell me how friendly strangers are.

[–]vancirclejerk 1ポイント2ポイント  (3子コメント)

Congratulations on not mugging me. Maybe next time, you could try a smile and maybe even work your way up to a "Good morning".

[–]Chris266 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I was being sarcastic. I love Vancouver and agree that there's tons of shit to do here.

[–]A_Genius 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah housing is a little crazy but I bet we solve this problem in the next 30 years.

[–]TurboLoaded [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Where are you surfing in Vancouver?? Seriously. I have a friend that told me he surfed near Ambleside one day but I don't believe him

[–]adriarichurds -1ポイント0ポイント  (3子コメント)

Great university

overrun by mainland Chinese students now

go skiing and surfing in the same day

hilarious. I bet less than 0.5% (if that) of the people in this sub have ever done that.

beautiful

yes, the area surrounding Vancouver sure is pretty.

nice people

lolololololol, are you honestly being serious? The most stuck up and passive aggressive people in Canada live here.

low crime

again, hilarious. property crime here is off the charts.

[–]A_Genius 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

Great University overrun by mainland Chinese students? 1/5 students are international and even if all of them were Chinese that's hardly being overrun. Next

Go skiing and surfing in the same day? Just because you can't get off your ass to go try something new and exciting doesn't mean others don't. Plus I'm not saying it's advisable to do both of these things, I'm saying the weather is so moderate that both of things are possible.

I can see the fucking water from my place downtown. What the fuck else do you want, its gorgeous here.

Go to Boston, New York, Seattle and see how nice people are. We enjoy low crime and great public services. The price of single detached housing is expensive but renting is still really cheap compared to comparable cities.

I don't know what it is you're really angry about or what has you so jaded, but we're spoiled here. If you go to other cities it gets worse.

[–]adriarichurds 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I'd rather deal with New Yorkers who don't hide behind bullshit passive-aggressiveness and tell you how they feel over the spineless jellyfish that call this place home.

[–]Dax420 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Then fucking go already.

Vancouver has an effective zero vacancy rate, ever increasing property values and home sales. "Free fall plummet" is the opposite of reality.

You're just jealous.

[–]fan_22 -3ポイント-2ポイント  (6子コメント)

Lol.

Go away. Typical Ontarian attitude.

"Shithole?" You mean like London? Ottawa? Kitchener? Sarnia? Hamilton? Mississauga? I could go on and on.

You really want to bring up food? With the exception of a few areas in Toronto, the food sucks. Restaurants like East Side Marios and Kelsey's fail out west for a reason.

Get off your thrown, go back to your whitebread, Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire ridden cesspool.

Lunatic Mayor?? Really?

I bet you don't have the balls to post that in /r/ottawa.

You really want to bring up food?

No, because most people aren't single like you and have several mouths to feed.

Lunatic Mayor?? Really?

You realize people crack jokes about him in civic circles across the country, right? The Rob Ford thing was an interesting distraction, but hey, at least he wasn't corrupt like Robertson is.

[–]fan_22 -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Lol ohhhhh r/Ottawa.

Let me guess. You don't even live inVancouver.

Langley? Maple Ridge?

You brought up Vera's Burgers as some kind of baseline for Vancouver dining. I do have kids. And a house. And good job, so going out to eat a few times a week means nothing to my wallet.

[–]adriarichurds 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

Oh stop, you're making a fool out of yourself. If you want to compare province to province, fine.

But Vancouverites love to compare themselves to Toronto, so compare city to city. And when compared to Toronto, Vancouver is fucking garbage. Vancouver so desperately wants the world to think it's a "world class city", but it's anything but.

He's right on many points - Gregor Robertson is a fucking fool, and the people here, as so easily evidenced by the replies he's received, are whiny, passive-aggressive, lazy pussies who wouldn't know a day's hard work if it bit them in the ass. I've been promoted 4 times in 5 years here and increased my pay 75% well into the 6 figures because my competition is garbage.

The only thing great about this place is the sushi and the climate.

Get over yourselves, people. You're nowhere near as cosmopolitan as you want yourselves to be.

[–]fan_22 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Passive-aggressive, lazy pussies

Classy.

I guess a few Ontarians think Vancouver is not a world class city, so it must be true.

All of those world city surveys must be way off.

Btw..you are my new hero with this troll account.

Enjoy your time in my city.

I'm not from Ontario, although I did live in Toronto for a couple of years. I'm from NYC proper. I've lived in London and San Francisco as well. All of those are much better places than here... even though I do like a lot of things about this place too.

Enjoy your time in my city.

I really hate to break it to you, and I'm not trying to troll... this time... but Vancouver isn't your city anymore. It belongs to the mainlanders now. It's time to accept that reality.
