This was my overwhelming take away from my visit to Japan a few months back as well. What make places remarkable is how people lived in them and shape them.
One of my biggest takeaways from living in Tokyo was that the city is incredible in spite of the fact that 95% of the architecture is unremarkable.
It makes the years-long design review process for a single apartment building in the U.S. seem all the more frivolous.

Tokyo is a city that makes the argument that architecture is irrelevant.
What matters more is urbanism:
The street network
The density
The freedom of uses
The clustering around rail

Whelp! The BC Conservative party's Twitter account says Rustad has been removed as leader because he is "professionally incapacitated"
Unclear whether that's actually in line with the party constitution
Per the release, Trevor Halford selected to serve as interim leader #bcpoli

Metro Vancouver mayors have to figure out — and soon — whether they can agree to raise property taxes to meet the unmet gap in transit funding, or hope for a better deal later this year and suffer the consequences if it doesn’t happen
We've been getting a lot of questions about the federal funding announcement today. Does it address TransLink's operating deficit?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: check out this article on CTV News.
