This entire argument is based on an assumption that government is capable of somehow enticing the "right" people into its town (whether through the "Vancouverism" you deride or some other technique).

But if people don't want to live or work in that stuff, realistically there's not much govenrnment can do to stop them. MLnoreply@blogger.com
