I've been to hilly US cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and in Canada, Vancouver, Montreal and I live in Toronto. From my experience, no matter how hilly a city can be, their CBDs and main streets and markets are always on flat ground. Historically, that's where cities begin. And as they grow, they envelope the nearest hills.

So, just for fun, name as many cities from anywhere around the world, that are completely on an incline, that every road and street is either banked, slanted or climbing that it would be impossible to ride a bicycle anywhere.
Sherbrooke is very hilly.

And many years ago I visited Austria and some of the towns were literally on the side of a mountain.
