They're considering putting in "light rail" for Surrey/Langley/etc

Surrey has like 2 stops on the whole line and they're next to each other

In a gentrified area that used to be sketchy AF

They were talking about designing a railroad that ran from East Orlando to Tampa but the city raised objections because Disney was going to be funding it and the city wouldn't be making any money off of it. It would be a net loss

Public transportation is an interesting problem. More stops mean more time to travel. Its difficult to get it just right.

Well the issue is that if you live in Guildford, Langley, etc, you basically gotta drive if you work in Vancouver/Burnaby/Coquitlam
Which means everyone has to live in the already saturated areas

Or near enough to them that they can bus in

They're trying to put apartments in out in White Rock where there's literally only two roads connecting it to the rest of the Lower Mainland and they already have bad traffic

That’s interesting. City planning seems very difficult to me. Im a civil engineer (work in wastewater treatment). It’s fascinating to see how things develop over time.

Yeah it's just quite stratified here. If Lauren didn't have way more interesting stuff to talk about, she'd still basically have free content talking about how weird the GVRD is

She's from out this way, and her earlier vids were about going to school here and such

Gvrd? The public transportation system?

Greater Vancouver Regional District

Just the general area

Oh. Ok.

I live in Alabama.

It’s nice and not super crowded.

Yeah we're getting spillage out into the countryside, which is pissing off people who live out there

Tale as old as time. A bunch of ritzy city elitists want to expand and crush the poor land owners.

Kelowna used to be quiet, now they have mentally ill homeless people, more crime, housing costs shot up
Lillooet wants all the hipsters gone

Well, I’m sure that everyone is a little pissed that urban sprawl happens.

The biggest case to be concerned about overpopulation is dealing with the big city brats wanting to spread about

It's extra fucked though because like, Lillooet is about a 4 hour drive from Vancouver and previously had much less in the way of "conveniences". It's hard enough getting support for Surrey

So like how long til all these other places are "full" and have the same issues, but little/no support

Usually a generation or 2

Hell, Chilliwack just gets Vancouver's smog every year. Blows into the valley lol

It’s car smog though.

They need to figure out super dense urban living

It's from a bunch of stuff now, including our seasonal forest fires

I think super dense urban living will just drive people nuts

Oh. Ok.

Better than us dealing with California's overwhelming smug

Lol

What you guys mentioned a little while ago about Disney offering to build light rail and costing the city money reminds me of how several years ago Jerry Jones convinced the idiot voters in Arlington, Texas to pay for the new Cowboys stadium.

Yeah. It’s easy to get caught up in scams with some ‘public’ projects.

Why there should be less of them

Seriously?
