Reading it suggests that the author has not been to Vancouver or New York at all.<br /><br />New York's "per capita homicide rate" is listed as comparable to Johannesburg's (insane) and its public transport is described as "inefficient" (huh?).<br /><br />Vancouver is mentioned as not being excited because it lacks a sense of divide between rich and poor. Vancouver, where people shoot up in the streets two blocks from the most expensive real estate in Canada...<br /><br />I like the sentiment. But not the article.
