There's zero stock to be put into click bait, but every year there is lots of stock put into it and they look like marketing geniuses. And I guess technically they are.

That is what I was trying to say. They only allocate a community amenity to one neighborhood. So the borders they used matter to the ranking huge.

This is despite the fact there are no moats or walls between communities..aka reality.

I think my community went up 60 spots. Looks like that gift made it in time. Time to sell!

And East Berlin was just a wall away from West Berlin.

The Hillhurst wall has a nice ring to it.

No surprise that Cougar Ridge is far away from the late teens/early twenties as possible.


Also, Bowness - perennial top ten. Damn straight.

When I lived there I lived both in Acadia and Parkhill. I liked Parkhill much better.

Ah, the NW. Where good, fun loving people go to quietly waste away and die.

But seriously, Dalhousie and Brentwood in the tops? What, these people have never seen a Safeway strip mall before?

Just look at the reactions in this thread, alone. "OMG this community is right beside this community and down there!!". Their social media reaction is that X way more people.
Capitol Hill and Banff Trail are side by side geographically and ranking.

This sounds like something jealous SE and NE people say to make themselves feel better.
