Explore the allure of Vancouver, a highly sought-after city in North America known for its desirability and, simultaneously, its high cost of living. Delve into the challenges posed by expensive rents, making the city somewhat unlivable for many. Witness the anticipation of change as the script unfolds the imminent Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) around crucial transit hubs, particularly the bustling SkyTrain stations. The provincial government's recent legislation becomes a focal point, aiming to reshape urban landscapes by allowing high-rise residential towers and reducing parking requirements. The vision painted involves a future where Vancouver embraces TOD, fostering efficient public transportation, mixed-use neighborhoods, and economic vibrancy. Amid the optimism, the script doesn't shy away from acknowledging potential downsides, including gentrification and social impacts. In essence, Vancouver stands on the brink of a transformative journey, with TOD poised to bring substantial high-density housing and elevate the city's overall livability and sustainability.

I like trains
For those who don't get why is saying "Todd" every time, he is saying TOD, or Transit Oriented Development
Sky train is the most useless and expensive mode of transport . That’s why there are only I think five in the world . One in Bangkok which I rode on . One in seattle which is still not done and super expensive . Streetcars are the way to go .
After living in Europe, Vancouver transit is lame
Put washrooms at every other station on the skytrain lines and more people would use transit. Charge a small amount for the use of the washroom with the "tap" system on your Compass card and that money would pay for an attendant, as they do in Europe, and the washrooms would be clean and safe.
Why is he saying “Tod”? Does he not know? And if he doesn’t know, …why not? If you’re reporting on this I would assume you’d know what it is.
I wouldn’t say that Marine Drive station area is “walkable”. Marine Drive is a huge stroad that makes it a very unpleasant street level experience. But Commercial Drive shouldn’t have this issue as much should it be developed.
Sky train's been there for decades, areas around stops have been developing for decades along with it. It's not going to 'make' the city awesome when it already is
The cartoons were so incredibly annoying
None of them will have public washrooms. City Hall and Arbutus Stations will have space set aside, but Translink says there’s no funding for washrooms.
It was interesting 😊

For some reason, I feel like this video is speaking to me directly.
Keep up the great content, as a urban planning enthusiast it was a great watch.
Top most expensive cities list always kind of don't get Vancouver. I don't know if they're only focusing on the city alone. But in reality. You, under any circumstances. Don't have to live in the city of Vancouver. The city of Vancouver is small, and the Skytrain extends well past the city. Chances are, if you're moving to the metro. You're going to live in other areas of the city.
resident: I love the skytrain
It's definitely an interesting sight to see when riding the SkyTrain through stations like 22nd St and 29th Ave as the tracks goes through some American-style suburbs. And sometimes the tracks quite literally goes through someone's backyard.
Unfortunately with the local government and the current ABC group Vancouver is going to in fact slide back instead of improving.
