I found Vancouver to be vin ordinaire, myself. Definitely overrated, but then I prefer my destinations to have a bit of edge (that dodgy street apart).

Hamburg pisses on it, imho
For a night out, but not for quality of life
Vancouver isn’t boring! There’s tons to do, and it is a year round place to do it! Unless, of course, you don’t like being outside, enjoying nature, plenty of good choices to eat, a beautiful waterfront, majestic scenery, nice, friendly Canadians, etc, etc, etc... THE biggest knock against Vancouver, in my book, is that it is so bloody expensive!
Can't argue with the outdoors bit, but that's not for me. Nice walk with the dog on a nice day with a pub lunch is as outdoorsy as I get.
I said earlier it's great for x-game type stuff. I just found it a bit boring. Just not for me I guess. My mate that lives there tried it all at first. I guess it doesn't compete with the Mancunian style sitting in the pub and putting the world to rights, bit of Liars or Mojos depending on your scene and an Abdul's on the way home.
Jokes a side, I'm not keen on modern Cities, prefer a little edge to my City, or culture. Something different to experience.
Somewhere like Chicago, not steeped in European style history or culture. But with its own vibe, be it the loop, buck town, north side, South and west & far west sides. Good soul food, giant weird pizza, some top BBQ joints and a decent music scene. Is Buddy Guy's still going? Not been for a while.
Used to have a couple of top mates, living in Greektown & Bucktown.

Thought Hamburg was overrated too. I can think of at least five German cities that knock it into a cocked hat.
