I think the living environment is better in Burnaby. Nicer view.
But since I do prefer Chinese food most of the time I still will choose Richmond. I don't like shopping in Metrotown either.
Btw...why not Vancouver?? I will still pick Vancouver not burnaby or richmond if there's the choice in the poll....
On the other hand I usually go dim sum w/ my hubby. Usually order 4 or 5 dishes. Maybe some left over to take out. I like Pho and Taiwanese noodle too...and they can all be found in Richmond...so...
One thing I don't like about Richmond is that the road is not grid pattern. Once go inside it's like a maze. I don't like this kind of design... Also...Richmond is too "flat"...it's just ...boring sometimes...
But of course, love to shop/eat there...Nothing I hate about it. But I probably won't choose to live there.
Not that I like the traffic in Richmond, but rarely did strike happens (garbage etc.). And I like the way that you can pay property tax with credit card (not in Van).
