The Canadian city of Vancouver, the best city to live in the American continent
and fifth of the world, according to the classification Mercer; provides for an
increase in its population of around one million in the next 10 years of the
current 2.5 million (40 % ). With this forecast, the provincial government of
British Columbia has raised a referendum in May to the inhabitants of the city,
to decide whether to accept pay extra taxes for the improvement and expansion of
the public transport network. The dilemma of the vancouveritas is not only to
pay more taxes, but to decide if they want to add to their city more roads,
buses, trams and ferries that can checkmate the housing and environmental
quality of the city, its greatest strengths to lead the list Mercer. The polls
suggest that the 'no' shall be imposed in the query that ends this May 29 and
that has been permitted to vote by mail for a month and a half.
