    The emphasis is on clusters of town centres with high stories which is not exclusive to the commercial business district.

    The metro region, within the individual suburb cities consists of clusters of high rise buildings. Most of which are 120m (400ft) or higher. The areas most closely related to this in Europe consists generally of low-rise skylines, including along arterial corridors.

    Metro Vancouver encompasses this so greatly the architecture phenomenon is called Vancouverism.

    It is characterized by a large residential population living in the city centre with mixed-use developments, typically with a medium-height, commercial base and narrow, high-rise residential towers, significant reliance on mass public transit, creation and maintenance of green park spaces, and preserving view corridors.

    Coincidentally enough, City of Vancouver's only Costco is located downtown underneath the viaducts and, you named it, residential high-rise towers above. "The first Costco warehouse to be built as part of a residential and commercial project."

    The Seattle Times' article reports in more depth:

    Parsons said Dean became ill and went to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing just over two weeks ago. He was intubated and developed pneumonia and then a serious bacterial infection, MRSA.

    I don't see how this makes your information more anonymous when it links to one centralized domain that doesn't masquerade with others. I believe a more effective approach is using an email alias, ideally with multiple users linked to the one domain - or at least appears to be, with software like addy.io or SimpleLogin.

    As someone who keeps a close tab within the local politic scene, Squamish nation and the City of Vancouver are working together in this endeavour.

    The City doesn't really have jurisdiction to block utilities because they are managed by Metro Vancouver as a whole, in addition to the respective public monopoly owners for power and gas, BC Hydro and Fortis.

    Hey all, I'm interested in going down the rabbit hole with Ubiquiti equipment or other manufacturers, more specifically with access points, routers, and a switch. I want to ween off my ISP-supplied all-in-one equipment as their newer hardware limits basic features such as port forwarding, and I'm interested in re-enabling my self-hosted software. Wi-Fi standards have been moving pretty quickly, as have hardware. What setups do you have established in your homes?

    I don't really have a budget in mind, and have a 2.5GbE port I'd like to utilize for media consumption over LAN.
