Trying to eliminate false positives at the expense of letting criminals go free is a staple of western criminal law dating back to 1760s. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstone%27s_ratio

Drove nothing but manuals for the past 16 years. Got my first car with a dual-clutch automatic this year. It's faster to shift, easier to drive, has a crazy number of ratios, and still manually controllable. That said, if they still exist, I will go back to a manual for my next car. I think there is a level of engagement lost even with something controllable like a dual-clutch. I can see the appeal of a dual-clutch or even the newer torque converters and I can't fault people for choosing it over a manual, but for me it's not the right fit.

I agree with these points, but I think the property costs are going to be a non-starter. I know housing is expensive in Vancouver so I'm assuming, possibly incorrectly, that office space will be at a premium as well. This puts Vancouver at a disadvantage since another metro can offer an insane tax deal plus cheaper property.
