Yeah, Point Grey/Dunbar does kinda look like the Kingsway area even though they have a more liberal/intellectual vibe due to the influence of UBC.
The Annex I guess doesn't really have a Van counterpart (and Van doesn't have a major downtown university), though Kits and Point Grey would have a lot of the intelligentsia demographic in Van.
To what extent do we emphasize urban form and what extent demographics when making these comparisons?
Since Van is smaller and younger, it doesn't really have a "rowhouse belt" equivalent and gives way to early 20th century SFHs earlier. And what's an outer suburb in the GTA might be an inner suburb in Van (think Oakville and West Van, or southern Mississauga and North Van, to some extent Richmond and Markham as well).
