Overrated is defined by Oxford dictionary as being rated or valued too highly.
We asked our 604 Now audience to share what they believe are the most overrated thing in Vancouver and we received over 300 responses.
Some comments called into question whether or not the respondents knew what overrated meant. For the most part though, we understood the points the audience was trying to get across.
As the comments came in, commenters from other municipalities including Surrey were very pleased to read this list.
