And btw Richmond is not a municipality, it's a city.

I think we deserve our "city" status. We have almost 200,000 people living here and we have our own skyline

You're a moron.

A municipality IS a city.

It says longest lifespan in Canada but it's actually longest in the world. Just can't find the article

That's because it's only Canada, not the world. I remember that article too.

A Statistics Canada study that shows people in Richmond, B.C., have a higher life-expectancy than those in Japan has stumped at least one expert.

The report Health Indicators, released Tuesday, shows that babies born in Richmond today can expect to live to an impressive average of 83.4 years, two years more than the average in Japan, which tops the World Health Organization's rankings.

EARTHQUAKE!
TSUNAMIS!

There goes your precious life span.

And if you read the article, it says that it has nothing to do with environmental reasons but "because of immigration patterns and genetics ".

Previous studies have found people in Richmond have the lowest smoking and obesity rates in the country

You seem quite intent on bringing up the negative's of Richmond. Which are very few and far between compared to all our positives.

Bottom line is numbers don't lie. We have the longest life expectancy on the planet because we are the healthiest city.

Vancouver is also quite healthy. Unfortunately there are people like yourself who are in horrible physical condition that bring down the average life expectancy. Have fun being a negative statistic

Numbers don't lie, but there's reasoning behind every number. FYI, in my opinion Richmond would probably be my second choice to live after the Vancouver Westside, where i currently reside.

As for "Previous studies have found people in Richmond have the lowest smoking and obesity rates in the country.".....that would have to do with immigration. For one thing, there are much lower rates of smoking among the Cantonese population.....and you hardly ever see an Asian person that is overweight.

Read the article: the city's high life-expectancy is more likely because of immigration patterns and genetics than healthy living. Chinese and south Asians make up 60 per cent of the city's 176,000 residents.

look bud you can keep praising Richmond but the fact remains its not on good land as far as earthquakes go - they teach that in jr high geography in BC
if chinese people are gullable enough to move to a city just because it sounds like RICH MAN to them go for it but its never going to be a safe place in an earthquake and it is surrounded by a dyke so when waters rise its gonna flood be it in our lifetime or the next

it is a great city and lets cross our fingers nothing bad ever happens but its extremely sad to see some of the best farmland in Canada let alone the world be gobbled up with development

[squeezied]

northwest2k, in what ways have you contributed to richmond's overall "healthiness"?

No one's being negative here, you are just being an idiot. You've been doing nothing but praising Richmond from SSC to SSP, often putting down other cities along the way.

And I believe I said a few months ago that you have one more chance before a punishment is given. Personal attacks are not permitted and will not be tolerated after two warnings. (to everyone) Looks like you didn't take that a wakeup call. Looks like you'll be quiet alone in Richmond for three weeks.
