Anyone in Vancouver

[Arsh]

Hey all. As with most of you guys, I've read MJ's book. I'm trying to adapt to a new set of beliefs. It's difficult to change some of those beliefs, but I think I'm progressing well. However, sometimes, I feel like I need to be around people who are Fastlane minded.
So, I was wondering if there's anyone who lives in Vancouver; who feels the same and wants to "network" (because I can't think of a better word).

Yes I am. I love fresh salmon, and always shoulder check for cyclists while driving.

Salmon's good. And this is why I'm glad I don't drive. Too unproductive...and not to mention the fact that I'll be driving a mass destruction weapon among other mass destruction weapons haha.

That's actually not untrue. I still love driving though. It's a lot of fun. I live in the suburbs so I have lots of room to drive, unlike DT where everyone is crammed in like mashed chicken parts.

How do you figure driving is unproductive? :/

It's definitely better in the suburbs, but I just can't stand driving hahaha.

And I figure it's unproductive because I like to be working on something the whole time. And if I'm driving, I'm driving. I can't be doing anything else. Multitasking kills. When I'm on the bus, I can read; I can listen to podcasts; and so on. In that sense, I think driving is unproductive.

Vancouver transit system is the shit.

F*** calgary transit.

F*** calgary transit.

It's not that great, but I like it haha. I'm always doing something, whether I'm waiting for a bus, on the bus or just got off the bus. So, the efficiency of the transit doesn't really matter.

Wasn't referring to the bus.

I'm talking about the sky train or whatever the hell it's called. No drivers, fast, efficient, always a new train arriving. Doesn't yield to cars like the c train does.

Yeah, the skytrain's great. Hahaha

That's true. But transit in the greater Vancouver area is so unreliable. And it takes a ridiculously long time to get anywhere. I can actually run somewhere faster that transit in a lot of cases.

Calgary transit = shit
Vancouver transit = mostly shit
The sky train is convenient for what it is, but it's been a lot worse lately. So many delays. Plus they just brought a new sky train track into my hood and it's a damn eye-sore

Our granola munching hippie mayor Robinson is basically doing everything to make driving more and inconvenient for as many people as possible. Plus it's so expensive to have a car here I think most young people are just gonna be like "f*** it, not gonna drive"

Come on, it's not that bad.

It's probably not bad compared to some other places. But I get irritated with it very quickly.

I should also add that in DT the transit is A LOT BETTER.

Heyy! Also from Vancouver. From the suburbs as well, so driving is alright. Only problem is I don't have a car.

Are you guys working on anything at the moment? We should start a Skype progress group to help each other out. What do you think?
