comment[edit]

I'm skeptical about the "companies based in Vancouver" section - looks like an invitation for linkspam. IMO, if companies are indeed significant to the local economy, then it shouldn't be too hard to incorporate them into the main text, rather than an arbitrary bulleted list (1-800-Got Junk? Whatever! Why not the hot dog vendor at Robson and Hornby? Or the many companies that are more significant but which are omitted: MEC, Rocky Mountain bicycles, VanCity bank, etc, etc.) At the very least, some specific criteria should be used for the list, besides being based in Van. Anyone else have thoughts on this?Bobanny 23:55, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess no one has strong opinions on the subject, so I deleted the section. Bobanny 19:07, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

housing?[edit]

why does a description of the real estate & construction sector on an article about vancouver's economy sound like a political take on homelessness? 65.93.99.47 (talk) 21:31, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Because they are sadly completely entwined in Vancouver, one of the least affordable cities to live in in the world. —Joeyconnick (talk) 18:40, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They might be completely entwined but the article is about Vancouver's economy not negative side effects. Does the section on aviation include a description on greenhouse gas emissions? 70.31.130.135 (talk) 02:03, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
