Ok Vancouver, here are my final takeaways… a soaring city surrounded by water, beaches, sea walls and boats of all types and sizes. Beautiful glass towers with lots of architectural variety and innovation. The 2010 Olympics clearly opened up A LOT of development and the city has grown and flourished ever since. Tall lush green pines and other street trees are required on sidewalks and really add to the overall look and outdoorsy feeling. Sparkling clean sidewalks. First Nations/indigenous imagery is everywhere, hopefully a sign that people are being elevated on many levels. Legal cannabis shops are prevalent, though somehow I forgot to take a picture. Innovative street redesign to incentivize bikes and alternative transit instead of cars. And sadly, a real problem with homelessness and street drug use at levels I’ve never seen before. All in all it was a wonderful trip!
