https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb4EhJpIdm4 Just like Edmonton, Calgary and Seattle, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT is able to have longer stations than what congested Vancouver has.

Vancouver, Burnaby and NW
Why People Hate Living in Vancouver (and want to move away) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzyITR89-3s
Vancouver, Burnaby and NW is the city, although they are 3 separate municipalities.

The BRUTAL TRUTH about Living in Washington State
Washington's Dark Side Exposed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrhL0ih2XcI
A cold, crappy dark and damp fall and winter is common. It's almost as bad as Vancouver, Canada. However, it's important to point out that Seattle and Vancouver never froze over like Minneapolis and Winnipeg, Chicago and Toronto, NYC and Montreal, Boston and Halifax.
Is Canada No Longer A Country? Is it Just A Failed Experiment?

People are leaving Toronto and Vancouver in record numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0Jh0EymI_A&t=103s
In 2025, over 120,000 citizens and permanent residents left Canada for good—and early data shows this "Great Exodus" is only accelerating in 2026. From the housing crisis to stagnant wages, the reasons are clear, but the real question is: Where is everyone going? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDvV6v3YV-E
A very cold, crappy winter in Toronto, or perpetual cold, dreary dampness in Vancouver, is too much for some people to endure anymore.

How this new railway will reshape Auckland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpcMBDeZo7Y Of course Auckland can eventually have 9 car trains, because they aren't like backwards Vancouver is.

North Shore of Greater Vancouver
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shore_(Greater_Vancouver)
Is North Vancouver the most livable city in Canada? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX89qkSRBvg
https://www.vancouversnorthshore.com
Unfortunatly, there still isn't a commuter train from the airport to the H Bay ferry terminal.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Shore_(Greater_Vancouver)#Access
There isn't even a train tunnel or a bus bridge between Downtown_Vancouver and the North Shore. Inept regional planning has been very slow to build rapid rail transit, or even a proper rapid bus bridge over the Inlet. An inadequate 3 lane Lion Bridge is so narrow that some people have living rooms or swimming pools wider than it. The 6 lane Iron Bridge that's so narrow, there isn't enough room for emergency lanes and no space for HOV lanes. Any attempt of a rapid bus will still have to be funneled into the inadequate single deck crossing.

Any Potential of Reviving the 10-lane George Massey bridge project remains inconclusive

Even if the tunnel crossing was expanded decades ago, there would still need to be a 21st century bridge in the area.

Sydney's First 300m Towers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUuy94brhLI Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, GC City & Perth, are all allowed to have taller buildings than little stumpy provincial Vancouver, Canada.
How Sydney´s Skyline Will Change by 2030 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzz6aXvTZko Unfortunatly, the AI voice nation wasn't set to an Australian standard.

Tree-inspired office tower concept proposed for revived Waterfront Station project
Singapore, Perth, Sydney, Seattle, SF and Miami are allowed to have tall buildings right near the water, because they are allowed to be big and tall cities.
Vancouver has several restrictions which prevent it from becoming a proper big city.
Major upgrades for Queensborough Bridge in NW
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/queensborough-bridge-upgrades-new-westminster-richmond
Another classic BC bottleneck-chokepoint. This bridge is so narrow, because there aren't any emergency lanes, let alone any bus & HOV lanes. The narrow and inadequate Queensborough+Bridge just wasn't designed for a properly growing seaport region. A twin or duplicate bridge should have been built immediately east of the first bridge, decades ago. A parallel 4 lane bridge would allow for 3 lanes on each bridge, plus a 4th lane for buses. However, that would go against the regional congestive planning agenda.

No plan to make 8th Avenue detour bus-only during Broadway road closure for subway construction
Given that this temporary diversion is only 1 lane each way, it should be just for buses.
25-storey, mixed-use residential tower approved for an industrial area
It might be a good idea to keep some land for industrial purposes in small Vancouver.
Whil Houston, TX has already allowed for this, it has a much larger land area than Vancouver.
