White Rock & South Surrey/Crescent Beach should be amalgamated to form the 2nd type of North Vancouver.
Langley City should merge with Cloverdale to become it's own municipality.
The geographic boundaries of the current districts and municipalities simply do not make much sense anymore.
Quick Map Idea.

This gets my vote.
I'm not convinced of the benefits of Metro-Vancouver-wide amalgamation. We might not have the "fiefdoms" that we do now, but there'll still be NIMBYs around to "protect" their communities from much-needed projects.
The one thing I would like to see is a Metro Vancouver regional police force to get us off the RCMP teat. I don't think amalgamation is necessary for that to happen though.
