Trevor Boddy, architecture critic for The Vancouver Sun, offers his sometimes humorous views about bringing Vancouver's experience to San Francisco: "After listening to a dozen citizens spout off about the similarities/differences between what is planned for the Transbay and Rincon Hill districts south of Market(1), and my own town of Vancouver, I just had to get up and say something. This is how I ended my short undercover career as a Vancouver architecture critic in San Francisco."
