The Vancouver (YVR) Airport vs.

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/yvr-91-birthday

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vancouver_International_Airport By now YVR should have had at least three 3600m or 11,800 foot runways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle-Tacoma_International_Airport#Ground_transportation

Even though the Seattle airport has a smaller area than Vancouver, it was able to have 3 runways long enough to accomodate the 747 & the largest Airbus.

https://dailyhive.com/seattle/seattle-tacoma-international-airport-international-arrivals-facility

The Abbotsford_International_Airport should have two 3050m or 10,000 foot runways by now, so that it can be a better alternate or backup airport to YVR.

Five towers up to 52 storeys with 2,200 homes eyed for Surrey City Centre

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/1301-13355-104-avenue-13280-13362-105-avenue-surrey-bristol-estates-towers-redevelopment

Surrey could have the first 70 story residential building in BC and have the first 50 story office tower in BC. However, BC is still all about holding things back.

Iconic Vancouver office tower celebrates 50 years of history

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/td-tower-downtown-vancouver-plaza-50th-anniversary

Instead of the city permitting a 60 floor office tower, it's just another 30 story stump.

So far, no office building in Vancouver has been allowed to have a 40th floor.

Vancouver City Council directs city staff to explore taller buildings for West End

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-city-council-explore-west-end-taller-buildings

This view cone and shadowing crap has gone well over the top, but it all helps to hold Vancouver back as a provincial backwater. So far, no residential building in Vancouver has been allowed to have 65 floors. No Vancouver office building has been allowed to have 40 floors.

West Vancouver Blue Bus vs. RapidBus

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/west-vancouver-blue-bus-union-rapidbus-extension-opposition

A push for even more street congestion madness in Vancouver.

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-plan-bike-lanes-options-design-vancouver

8th Avenue as well as 10th Avenue are already bike routes. Broadway should remain 6 to 7 lanes wide. However, the small town planners almost want to go back to wagon roads.

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-vancouver-great-street-amendment

Real cities are allowed to have some wide streets. However the, KEEP VANCOUVER SMALL AND CONGESTED agenda isn't being challenged enough. There is an overall narrow-minded power-structure that continually wants to thwart Vancouver. Its been that way for generations.

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/broadway-road-redesign-vancouver-subway-great-street

For some it's, why have a wide street when a narrow one is more symbolic of the narrow-minded agenda?

The Stack: Metro Vancouver's new tallest office tower nears completion

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/the-stack-1133-melville-street-office-construction-update

Over 400 feet shorter than the tallest office tower in Seattle and Toronto. Not even half of the height of the tallest office tower in SF.

The Top 50 Container Ports

https://www.worldshipping.org/top-50-ports

Its amazing to see what real port cities can do, simply because they aren't under the control of Vancouver & BC.

https://www.icontainers.com/top-20-ports-in-the-world

In spite of Canada being the second largest country in area, its nowhere close to even having 1% of the worlds population.

https://www.marineinsight.com/ports/top-10-busiest-ports-in-the-world

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_busiest_container_ports

Port of Vancouver is the world's 3rd worst port for efficiency and performance

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/port-of-vancouver-global-ranking-shipping-delays-bottleneck

But that fits right in with the low standard for BC.

https://mfame.guru/port-of-vancouver-is-the-worlds-3rd-worst-port

For some reason, Vancouver & BC can't seem to get other major ports around the world to adhere to the same inept standards.

https://financialpost.com/news/economy/port-of-vancouver-is-among-the-worst-in-the-world-according-to-world-bank-report

https://hpcigar.com/the-port-of-vancouver-is-the-third-worst-port-in-the-world-in-efficiency-and-throughput/

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10118457/Californias-ports-rated-worst-world-falling-world-countries.html But at least no one from BC was able to stop their infrastructure from being built on a grand scale.

Buses first, SkyTrain maybe later

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/north-shore-rapid-transit-bus-rapid-transit-park-royal-metrotown-brt

To not even build a proper bus and train bridge is another example of Vancouver ineptness that fits right in with the Backwater BC mentality.

Metro Vancouver's industrial space vacancy is still North America's lowest

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/metro-vancouver-industrial-space-vacancy-june-2022

There are so many things that are preventing this part of Canada from having a proper metropolis.

Toronto, the quietly booming tech town

https://www.seattletimes.com/business/toronto-the-quietly-booming-tech-town

Toronto never was taken over by anything like Vancouverism. If Toronto was was enveloped with Vancouver type restrictions, it would also be a stunted city, just like Vancouver, BC is.

Elevator Technology

The Urban Intersection (TUI)

TUI is essentially about observing & referencing how various urban technologies develop and expand through the years. (This blog is semi-dormant at times.)

It's also about exploring and comparing urban science & fiction throughout the world & beyond. http://www.technovelgy.com

An urban technology_center can become quite a big draw for all kinds of people and technologies.
