I agree with the OP btw. Vancouver sucks. Horrid weather, busy, expensive. Victoria is infinitely better. Less than a third of the rain, way more sunshine, half the snow (Vancouver had a lot of snow this year - we had absolutely zero). Plus the city is cleaner, cheaper, less busy (although it's less "fun" as many people point out).

But ya, I hate it when people point to the "bum" issue, because it's not fair at all. When you have half the country's bums concentrated in a couple cities, there's going to be an obvious presence.
