    "and drink reclaimed rainwater."

    Everyone in the world already drinks reclaimed rainwater. Also, reclaimed seawater, sewage, etc. It's a closed system, after all.

    How is Vancouver going to deal with it's homelessness/drug addiction/prostitution problem when all of the tourists arrive? It's the worst skid row in North America. #olympicvillage

    @MISS MERCY STREET: They are planning to arrest the vast majority of them and either hold them in prison cells or shove them into a hastily-renovated Riverview insane asylum in coquitlam (abandoned for 40 years now).

    The province is passing some legislation that will allow officers to arrest "Anyone deemed at risk by the weather" and "escort them to shelter". it won't survive a court challenge, but it will take till after the olympics are gone for it to be seen in court on a charter basis.

    Between this and the police spying on protesters and anyone related to them, among a myriad of other social issues, BC really is becoming the worst place to live in Canada. #olympicvillage

    Yes yes, very awesome idea. And how much will these housing units cost? #olympicvillage

    @Aidan_: Between the units probably costing a small fortune to build and the prestige of them being Olympics related, I'd say a whole fuckton of money. Not that I'm bitter or resentful about it. Nope. Not at all. #olympicvillage

    @Aidan_: You are probably looking at $500 grand and up, depending on the size - condos here are not cheap, and these will definitely go for a premium price due to the environmental aspect and the association with the Olympics.

    It's too bad that going green comes with such a high price tag. #olympicvillage

    Don't they shoot BSG in Vancouver? Stargate? Smallville?


    Why all the Vancouver hate?

    Sigh.


    On the bright side it probably means this lady will show up...[www.imdb.com] whose appearance is always very comforting for some reason. Like a friendly aunt.

    I'm from Chicago and have been to Vancouver several times - the residential areas look virtually IDENTICAL in both cities, as do the strip malls, parks, etc.


    It's also cheaper to shoot there... and everything shot in Vancouver just feels FAMILIAR when you see it.

    Translation: expect to see a lot of familiar faces from Outer Limits, BSG and Stargate.

    @ManchuCandidate: Will there be guest spots by Brad Dourif and Matt Frewer? Will Robert Picardo show up at one point? Perhaps Carl Lumbly?
