For practically any city in the world, once you take the pretty-fied 1% and green spaces, what's left is blah and blight. I've ventured through the outskirts of cities like Amsterdam and Aukland to Bangkok and Zurich, and they're equally depressing. It's just different blah and blight that might seem exotic to an outsider, but it's blah and blight all the same. I'll take Ottawa's blah and blight over Toronto's or Vancouver's because there's less of it in volume.
