Traffic congestion - 12/1/2021
This city has traffic similar to Seattle. I think some drivers here are aggressive and are not able to stay calm under stress. Although the rent prices seem reasonable I don’t think this is a great place to live.

it's time to leave the corruption behind - 4/7/2021
The city is corrupt, department heads taking bribes, 2 yr community college almost destroyed because the faculty are making it into a 4 yr college. Mormon corruption they don't collect business licensing fees from companies in OR they're involved in that are doing business in WA, autodealers charge the wrong amount of sales tax on Costco auto program, most jobs are part time, homeless seem to be less visible but who knows where they are hiding them now. Really a bedroom community to Portland. Commutes to Portland easily 30 mins to an hour depending on when. Prices high, high sales tax, sanctuary city for Russians and Hispanics.

Unaccountable police, gloomy, ugly, and gross - 3/21/2020
I Lived in Vancouver for 10+ years. I used to be heavily involved in the community and was a city volunteer for many of those years. Recently, my love for this city has disappeared. Mayor Anne McEnerny-Ogle and the current city council has absolutely destroyed the community. She’s running a police force that overreacts to EVERYTHING, has disproportionate use of force, and is the least transparent agency in the state. There’s zero accountability in the city. Don’t believe me? Google it.
I have recently packed up my businesses and my family and moved far away from that awful place. It’s gloomy, become overpriced, full of homeless, has awful traffic lights and really has no benefits to offer. Move somewhere else. Somewhere where the community actually has a voice... they certainly don’t in

Vancouver! A good place to be homeless! - 12/24/2019
All I can say is gentrification. Every time I see another Tesla driving down our crowded streets another person is out of a home. I've lived here 17 years and it just keeps getting worse. They keep builing hotels and banks and restaurants but where are the good paying jobs? Where are all these minimum wage workers supposed to live?! The wages are too stagnant and the rent is too high. It is far too rainy and there is not much to do. The only activities are in Portland but you have to sit in horrible traffic to get there. Not much else to say about this depressing

Wonderful Small City I love Living Here! - 5/22/2019
I moved to Vancouver 3 years ago and I love it. It's a clean, small city feel, easy to get around with lots of parks and nature nearby. Everything is close, within 20 minutes of what you want to do and the Columbia River Gorge and beaches are practically in your backyard. People are friendly and I feel very safe living here. And, if you want to go to the big city it's nearby! Love my life here, wouldn't want to live anywhere else (except maybe the

The highs and lows of living in the PNW - 4/22/2019
My family and I first moved here in 1996. We lived here until 2007. We loved Vancouver and called it home for many years. The city was a great size and we had Portland just across the River. We had to move due to my husbands job near Olympia and really never liked it as well there. We were able to move back to Vancouver in 2017 and have been very disappointed in the changes that we have seen. The traffic and construction are much worse. The price of housing has doubled and in some places tripled from when we left, and the homeless population seems to be taking over most areas of Vancouver and Portland at an alarming rate as well as the trash on the side of the highway. Of course the population has drastically increased which makes it feel much larger but the increase in restaurants and movie theaters has been a plus. Also the rain and gloomy dreary days seems to drag on forever which is a major reason we are considering moving, unfortunately there is just no place better as far as
