Anyone who says the Shangri-la isn't tall enough is crazy! More would be sweet though.

Wow from way up there our skyline looks so small

Oh wait it looks that way from the ground too

The density in Yaletown is impressive.

Debbie Downer,

It's a solid skyline for a city its size.

I know it's no "big cemented area" but it has other qualities that you might not appreciate.

No doubt.

I really notice a lot of green spaces mixed in with all of the density downtown... fantastic!

You don't see skylines from the air, at least from that high up. That's why they're called aerial photos and not skyline photos. Don't worry, a lot of people make the same mistake.

More pics dated July 12, 2008

That shot just reminds me of the upcoming video game, CitiesXL (which is very similar to Sim City).

What an interesting shot of Shangri-La. =O

i wish ppl in the east side would plant some more trees. the yards are always so bare

officedweller · #18 Posted **Jul 22, 2008, 7:54 AM**

But you can grow vegetables on the east side because you have more sunlight - the trees on the west side often provide too much shade to grow vegetables.

jlousa · #19 Posted **Jul 22, 2008, 4:47 PM**

I live in the east side and I have 1 cedar tree, 2 hazelnut trees, a fig tree, and a mini vineyard, plus I still have a big flower garden in the front plus a vegetable garden in the back.

My neighbours in all the vancouver specials and older have very similar, only the newer houses are lacking in greenery.

officedweller · #20 Posted **Jul 22, 2008, 5:25 PM**

And those will come with time.
You can't grow a fig tree on the west side - not enough sunlight!
