Which part do you disagree with:
(1) Vancouver has class
(2) Botticelli has no class

Pretty fantastic if you can make it work like I have.

Pretty terrible if you can't make it work.

Same as any place.

I'd say it is. Actually, the Denver area has a lot to do for a tourist. It is beautiful, and there is plenty to see and do. Have you been to Denver?

I had no intention of saying Denver being not cosmopolitan and beautiful. It is a great city by the Rocky mountains.

Don't know why it says updated 2014 when it is clearly a 2010 result.

In the 2012 result, Vancouver declined from beta+ to Beta, same as Oslo, Helsinki and Brisbane.

GAWC doesn't seem to have release their 2014 ranking yet.

Frankly I do not pay any attention to these "studies" or "surveys".....

So to sum up Saturno's posts from the past 4 pages or so... Vancouver does have industry and tech and other things... but because they are Canadians working in regional offices for multi-national american companies, or movies/tv shows set in america... they dont coun't. That makes sense.
