Vancouver's biggest problems

According to a recent poll (found at CTV), here are what Vancouver residents say the city's biggest problems are:
  • Homelessness: 24 per cent
  • Traffic and transit: 22 per cent
  • Health care: 14 per cent
  • Crime: 12 per cent
  • House prices: 10 per cent
  • Poverty: 7 per cent
  • Environment: 2 per cent

    No surprise that homelessness came in at #1. It's an in-your-face issue all across the city. 72 percent of people also said the problem has been getting worse.

    Traffic and transit comes in as a strong #2. Hopefully the BC government's back-asswards highway expansion plans will get scrapped before it makes the traffic here even worse.

    It's not all bad though, as Vancouver has also recently been rated the top city for gay tourists.

    This is a video about the recent the homeless in Vancouver BC. I am
    hoping you will find it interesting enough to embed the video on your
    website (at least for awhile). It is a short clip so please check it
    out.
