    STM: Prolongement de la ligne 05 Bleue vers l'Est

    Thank you for all the research, but I am well aware of the situation and please don't try to paint me as a racist so you can take the moral high ground.

    I was not saying all Asians are rich, but rather that Vancouver gets more capital flowing in from Asia than Montreal because of it's geographical proximity. Quebec had 6.3 billion in foreign investment last year versus 20.4 billion in BC https://fdi2019.investcanada.ca/by-the-numbers?wbdisable=true

    I was in Vancouver last month and from the skytrain, there is a sea of cranes all along the route from airport to downtown. Although their population of Vancouver is less than half that of Montréal, the growth of housing in Vancouver was almost triple ours (972 starts in Montreal versus 2,962 in Vancouver in July of 2023) https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/media-newsroom/news-releases/2023/housing-starts-increased-second-consecutive-month

    So what is your explanation for why a city with half our population has three times the investment and three time the growth?

    Many cities in NA have this phenomenon - it comes with high density non-residential projects which do not enjoy street life after six PM. If you go through "The city" in London England, one of the most populated cities in the world, after 7 PM it is desolate.

    After spending a few days driving to NYC and driving through "bad areas", I can say that without a doubt, Montreal has A HUGE graffiti problem. Multitude times worse than the land where graffiti originated from. 

    However, we have more clean streets and sidewalks. Montreal doesn't smell either. 

    I know! I just came back from Brooklyn and the subways were pristine! Probably goes back to policy of graffiti artists who are caught have to do community service cleaning the graffiti off the trains. After this experience, gang members routinely beat up other kids they see tagging any trains. 

    Let the punishment fit the crime (it works).
