Great content here. Considering the costs, you have to include how crucial the seawall is to tourism, and just in general, the local attraction that it is. These bring money into the economy. Without a seawall, or a similar feature to replace it, I believe many people would move away, and/or just not go outside as much, leaving less money entering the economy. I would most definitely leave the city, without hesitation. It's the only feature, just slightly keeping me in a city that has a mega cost to live in (both immediate and into the future due to less savings), and seems to be getting colder n colder (socially) each year.
I love to bike the seawall but I hate to run on it. If we do change the seawall in the future, we should keep the pedestrian walkaway surfaced with fine sand/gravel compacted down to keep it flat. It'd feel much nicer to run on and more people would walk/exercise more often with reduced pain from running on the asphalt.
Idealistic when you literally say the ocean is going to be 8ft higher by 2100, there’s not much getting around raising false creeks walls and we haven’t even gotten started on the Great Wall of China* I mean Richmond
This was such a fun collaboration, thanks CBC Vancouver!
Awesome video! Do you have a link to the thesis paper?
Beach lasagna. I see what you did there hahah
For the price of a Vancouver detached home, you can rebuild a entire sea wall? That's a steal.
Uytae Lee, you make CBC worth it. Great, relevant journalism.
Pro tip: call the Dutch

Very cool collaboration! Loved the video and it was on a topic I was completely unaware of. We need more of this
Glad you enjoyed!
Other places in the world restock the sand by getting sand from somewhere else.
seawall worth the every penny needed to maintain it. This is probably the only thing government would have without any controversy!
Vancouver would fall into the sea without it!

Maybe there are ways to keep the wall and promote the eco-system. We should look into those options.
Where did the 2.3 meters come from? Real science predicts 59 cm by 2100.
We lived in Vancouver before 1917
We have our own history with unseen photography. Our family in Vancouver is at least a couple hundred relatives.
Don't know how I got here, but I did. Great video
Unique in all the world. To quote the Beetles. Let it be! l. It's to Vancouver what the Golden Gate Bridge is the san
Maybe sell the wall to USA and ship Vancouver to China, I really don't know, Just trying to help.
Anyone know the name of that song at the beginning? It’s so good
Showing a king tide (like what CBC has done before) does not constitute rising sea level.
It does because as sea levels rise, king tides get worse

Easy, just build another wall :D
