The city is not the problem

Why do people continue to post their 'confessions' blaming Vancouver for all their problems in their life? Nobody take any accountability. Stop blaming the city for your problems!

This city is full of very hard working and vibrant people from all corners of the world. They appreciate and work hard and enjoy this city.
Then there are others who blame there failures on this city.
On an internet forum like this, you will mostly hear from the failures.

it's easier to blame an external factor one doesn't have any control over when one is not interested in the actual change for the better and is trying to gauge a reaction from the general public.

I think my original comment says it all. if vancouver were a restaurant it would certainly be the cactus club - boring and lifeless (and overpriced) with a shiny modern presentation.

I understand though, BC is mostly small villages and vancouver probably seems pretty happening to someone from, say, Prince George. I know better though.

where the action isn't - that's where vancouver is.

I had heard it was somewhat provincial but I really didn't expect it to be quite this bad. I can see how this place would make people bitter and resentful. At least there's the rain to wash away the tears of depression.

Vancouver - YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH !!!!

To paraphrase Jack Nicholson famous line from that mediocre military drama from years ago.

It is far too easy to marginalize and ridicule people who speak about the uncomfortable truths hiding under the vistas of the the ocean and mountains and the false politeness. The dissenters bring up uncomfortable truths that make people look in the mirror & question their true values and conduct.Perhaps they dont like what they see in themselves. It can shake people to their core. Uncomfortable truths like the pig farm and 2 big riots over a hockey game. That is the real issue.

Oh but the dissenters are supposed to shut up and drink a latte and talk about the canucks. And the weather.

Vancouvers true self of uppity self indulgence and snobbery is getting to be well known throughout the rest of Canada and even the USA.

So get over yourself Vancouver.

Didn't realize I could blame a city for all my personal problems. That makes so much sense.

Of course, it's the cities fault my life sucks. I wont take any accountability for my problems. Maybe moving to a different city will solve all my problems and they will just melt away.
