I have lived in Vancouver most of my life and did live in Seattle for three years. I watch and read a lot of the local news. What you are describing sounds like a 30000 ft view of Vancouver as portrayed by many news articles.

Where in Vancouver? My wife's parents live in Richmond and three houses in their block are vacant most of the year. I have a relative that lives near Oak and King Ed. and it's similar there too.

Newspaper articles and people that live in the immediate neighborhoods report the same thing - entire neighborhoods empty with the yards growing weeds. Condo towers with dark windows all night every night, year round.

"entire neighborhoods empty with the yards growing weeds."

Maybe they can actually get some cash by growing weed there, now that it's legal and all. ;)
