"Canadian cities dropped in this year’s ranking with the country’s highest-ranked city, Vancouver, falling thirty-two places to rank 96. Toronto (101) dropped thirty-three spots, while Montreal (123) fell twenty-eight spots. Calgary’s ranking dropped to rank 125."
http://www.mercer.com/newsroom/cost-of-living-survey.html
"Australian cities have witnessed some of the most dramatic falls in the ranking this year as the local currency has depreciated against the US dollar. Sydney (26), Australia’s most expensive ranked city for expatriates, and Melbourne (33) dropped seventeen places while Perth (37) fell nineteen spots."

Building boom is reshaping Vancouver – but at a cost to city’s downtown tenants

"Under the city’s noise control bylaw, construction on private property is allowed Monday to Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.  on Saturdays. It’s prohibited on Sundays and statutory holidays. Construction on public property such as city streets, lanes and boulevards is allowed from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays."
https://www.biv.com/article/2015/6/renovictions-construction-wreak-havoc-renters

"Vancouver continues to have the "highest price per door" of the eight markets surveyed, at $234,661 - well ahead of a $147,000 price per door in Toronto, and $102,028 in Montreal.

Prices per door, or suite, have increased nearly 1.6 per cent in the last year in Vancouver, while dropping 5.8 per cent in Toronto.

And while Vancouver once had the highest rents in Canada - now averaging $1,177 - latest figures show the city is in second place, behind Toronto where average rents are $1,188. Rents in Montreal, at an average of $717, are the lowest."

The right-wing city council of Angouleme, France is banishing homeless people from its city center

"The right-wing city council of Angouleme in southwest France has come under fire for banishing homeless people from its city center, after it installed cages that completely cover benches used by local hobos.

The municipal deputy responsible for security, Joel Guitton, told AFP that the benches were “almost exclusively used by people who consume alcohol on a regular basis,” and claimed the decision was taken in concert with local traders, who complained that threatening behavior was driving away customers."

Vancouver's Stumpy Buildings and some others in BC

This should have been at least 50 stories, its like its been cut in half.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2011/08/745-thurlow-office-tower-to-start-construction-soon
Nice building, but it wont even reach 40 stories, let alone 50.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2012/02/development-buzz-mnp-office-tower-renderings

Nice, but no 40th floor, it really should have been 50+ stories.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/07/leasing-begins-for-the-exchange-building-office-tower-in-vancouver

No 45-50 stories here either.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/09/601-west-hastings-office-building

The Scotibank should have been at lest 55 stories & this one at least 50 0 or 700 feet.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/10/beach-and-howe-tower-bjarke-ingels

At 12 feet per floor this would be equivalent to a 51 story office tower.
http://www.vancitybuzz.com/2013/06/trump-tower-vancouver-revealed
However, as a 617 foot residential tower its suppose to have 63 stories.

It only seems to be 47 stories, when it should be 5 to 10 floors taller.

If this was an office tower it would be equivalent to having 41 floors, but as a residential tower it could be 52 stories. Regardless, its not allowed to exceed 500 feet, let alone 60
