  • Is it 'most livable' OR 'second most expensive"? Can't be both.
  • The polygon is incorrect, Mitchell Island is in Richmond and the University Endownment Lands are unincorporated. They should both be removed.
  • I LOVE THIS SITE.
  • Mitchell Island removed from the polygon.
  • Stop calling all of us French! In fact, a slight majority of Canadians ARE NOT French! It's mainly only those who live in Quebec, plus some occasional pockets of them throughout Canada.
