[socool]

i heard people are taking their garbage and dumping it out on the steps of city hall. how naughty.

[wishbone]

no, my refuse is love.

they did a segment on the news tonight, and they were filming people dumping it in parks.

i get city hall, parks i just dont understand.

[Phrenetic]

my buddy used to have a car that was basically a mini garbage truck. he'd clean it out one day and by the end of the day you were putting your feet on mcdonalds bags.

once a week he'd empty it on his other friends neighbours house. it was pretty funny.

I have a private company picking up my garbage.

I only dump there.

[Webber]

My city still picks up my garbage

My Delta?

[LLaaUUrrYYn]

Where I live there is NO garbage p/u ever.. We (and by we I mean my bf..) have a trailor and go to the dump once a week. I couldn't imagine dumping my garbage on someone else's lawn or at a park.

I used to do some work up there, and have always found it very boring.

Other then the mountains (which are nice, but easily accesable from anywhere in Van), there isn't much.

Also, it's a lot more isolated from the rest of Vancouver then other areas (which could be a good or a bad thing depending on how you look at it).

Most of the area, is your standard suburb fair, except with more confusing roads, and greater distances between things.

Very beautiful area, and if you like living in a house with a bit of distance from other people, you'll dig it.

Some people just don't go in for that, and I've never been able to stand spending time in North Van. I was probably a little harsh with my previous comment, North Van just isn't my cup of tea I guess.

ditto.

i get awoken at rediculous hours of the morning by our garbage pickup. lack of stink is better than dissrupting my sleep.

IT'S A 15 MINUTE DRIVE, OR A 23 MINUTE BUSRIDE DOWNTOWN FROM ALMOST ANYWHERE, THERE ARE OLD GROWTH FORESTS, LAKES, TRAILS, RESERVES, 3 MOUNTAINS, SUSPENSION BRIDGES, PARKS.

IN MY OPINION THE NORTH SHORE IS PROBABLY THE BEST PLACE TO LIVE IN VANCOUVER, SUBURBAN WISE, BUT I MAY BE BIAST. I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW OF A SUBURB THAT OFFERS SIMILAR THINGS AND IS 15 MINUTES TO GRANVILLE STREET.

It's all about what the area is offering vs what hobbies you have. I don't do hiking or much snowboarding/skiing. Therefore I don't care much for North Van. I'm sure if I was into those things, I'd have a blast in North Van.

As for naming a suburb? That could be argued any number of ways depending on what you look for. I love asian food. Name a suburb with a multituide of asian food, and asian grocery stores 20 mins to granville street. It's not North Van...

YEAH MAN I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL GO ONE A MESSAGE BOARD AND CALL PLACES UNFUN AND BORING SIMPLY BECAUSE OF A LACK OF AN ASIAN MARKET. YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT, THAT IS A REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE OF AN ASPECT OF A SUBURB THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE LOOK FOR WHEN PICKING A PLACE TO LIVE.

IF NORTH VAN ONLY WE HAD ASIAN MARKET, LIKE THE ONE IN NORTH VAN RIGHT NEXT TO CAPILANO MALL. OR THE ONE NEARBY IN WEST VAN. OR LIKE LONSDALE QUAY, WHICH ISNT TECHNICALLY AN ASIAN MARKET BUT A GIGANTIC MARKET WITH ITS FRESH FOOD AND PRODUCE AND ITEMS FROM AROUND THE WORLD.

WHAT OTHER ASPECTS OF A SUBURB TURN YOU ON, I BET ITS SOMETHING ELSE REALLY COMMON LIKE 'HAS TO HAVE MULTIPLE WENDYS LATE NIGHT DRIVE IN WINDOWS, BECAUSE I ENJOY BIG BACON CLASSICS AT 2AM, AND I DONT CARE FOR SUBURBS THAT DONT GIVE ME A CHOICE OF PLACES TO GET WENDYS AT'

I think you missed the point. I'm using the asian community as an example , that diffrent people like diffrent things. Not everyone is going to find North Van a thrilling place to live. I'm sorry, but people have diffrent intrests and define what they think of as a good place to live based on those.

I don't like hiking and a lot of outdoor activities, apparently you do.
I don't care much for North Van, apparently you do.

As a side note, I think that Richmond's strong asian shopping and dinning community is an excellent real world example of factors that effect people's decision to move into a certian area. It's hard to argue that it isn't a huge factor in Richmond's growth and ethinc make up.

wow, war of the 'burbs
