We moved to Surrey BC few months ago. And were in vancouver before that. I love it here, there's a lot of parks and public spaces, trails etc. Some nice restaurants and its really quiet but not boring. I hear a new hospital is being built and some sort of entertainment arena is being added around cloverdale. A new costco is planned too. Some new construction is going on too in Newton, cloverdale, and south surrey. But I get the sense from this subreddit that people are not really happy with current state of things, like they want a different mayor or something and are generally not satisfied with Surrey. Can some of you who have been here longer, help me understand the context/history am missing.
