If you do a Google Map search for Vancouver it winds up in my neighbourhood: I can walk up Cambie Street to the footpath around the harbour and to the place where I took the picture, boat at Third Beach and rock stacks nearer Second Beach. The whole walk is wonderful.

Map and background here. It is marvellous and miraculous that the thing exists, given the value of the land it occupies. Hooray for a city of hippies.; August 26, 2013 at 1:45 PM

So. Sensible.

Hooray for a city of hippies.

Washington D.C. is just like that. (As long as you consider "corrupt, cynical warmonger" and "hippie" to be synonyms.)
