Developement could be illogical

Slowly driving downhill on Canada Way, I am going slightly below speed limit.  Numerous vehicles pass me by and I don't really care.  I am relaxed and coasting down the hill.  I know the car will speed up eventually, so why the rush.  I sit and let gravity does its job.

Truly rare occasion nowadays, being self-employed, I am usually busy running around the city meeting clients.  Especially so these weeks when the teacher's union action shuts down schools from time to time.  Parents look for me as substitute educational service.  Or, at least, during office hours, they have the peace of mind knowing their kids are with a trusted tutor doing math instead of hanging out with unknown peoples.  I left home at 8am only to return at 11pm last night.  I work almost as hard as my childhood friends in Hongkong.

In contrast to lives in Vancouver, my constituents in Hongkong live an extremely busy lives.  They run around the city doing their thing.  Break a sweat just to bring home the BBQ pork.  Environment and live style pushed aside to make ways for more developments, more money.  Never pause for a second to ask the meaning of all these hassles.  I petty them.  Yet, Vancouverites are blindly following that footstep. 

Other then all the Asian faces on the street, we are putting up condominiums to house more people.  As a person who drive for a living, I witness many real estate construction on the daily basis.  Still, it breaks my heart to see patches of urban green spaces cleared.  Some say economic development is important.  I tell them, "go back to China".  We are Canadian, the village people.

This is from Google, it is a recently disappeared greenery, evidence that Vancouver is rapidly being Hongkongized.
