proximoceptionThe Orange Countification of the Vancouver area continues apace. Very mixed feelings about it. At least it's improving the cuisine, one of the only two big problems when I lived here pre-Olympics. Hasn't been at all good for traffic, the other.
If you don't even try to think about what's contingent on it overseas, or in our carbonated future, prosperity plus a few dabs of socialism is kind of a neat combo to witness, even. Hope the latter won't be endangered. Everyone becoming a (technical, real estate) millionaire does tend to change opinions about taxes fast. But maybe enough people understand they're living on a bubble - reminiscent of the literal, geological one - to accept that a flush government may be needed to save all asses soon.
Neat thing about this area has always been the visibility of all the mighty processes at work, human included. This last transformative wave is as fascinating as any, I guess. But about as demonstrative of intention or reasoned control as most of the others.
