As to Bimmers, well funny how Richmond has such low reported incomes if everyone's got one in front of their townhouse. These dense townhouse tracts have absolutely nothing to recommend them in terms of architecture, setting or amenities. Perfect for ghetto creation.

For an anti-highrise person like yourself, do you think Cambie street, Broadway and Main streets are more walkable than No.3 Road? Aren't they all a commercial 'ribbon strip'? Why does No.3 Road irk you so much?
And come on, it has been a couple of decades since that Garden City neighbourhood was created and yet the townhomes there are still not rundown or 'ghetto', and that the streets and surroundings are still free from litter or graffiti. Please set your focus on real ghettos around Vancouver or Surrey, you know, like East Hastings, Whalley, certain parts of rundown east van, etc. Nowhere in Richmond is really ghetto, although certain areas could be just boring ethnic residential enclaves, but hardly 'ghetto'. However, other cities have tons of those too. So what do you consider as 'ghetto'. A neighbourhood primarily resided by a certain minority ethnic group, especially one which has more disposable cash than you?
