This. We had a contractor at work here helping with a project and he was from Vancouver. When talk about different cities came up, he could absolutely not believe that I didn't like Vancouver (hate the weather, traffic, swarms of homeless, and pretty much everything else mentioned in this thread). He then started ragging on Calgary listing all the cons (cold, unpredictable weather, dryness, too spread out, etc) and I could understand them, I know the faults of this city but they don't bother me too much. But for the entire time he was working with us he just couldn't drop the Vancouver issue, it was extremely irritating
No city in the world is perfect. But those worldwide livability rankings have really warped the minds of those in Vancouver to believing that it is.
