Description
Hi. I am getting an parsing error in the step to create VPC stack using Cloudformation YAML template downloaded from Github for vpc_us-west-2. I tried switching to vpc_us_east_1 with YAML template respectively and got the same error. Please error text below and attached file.

Research direction
Compare the downloaded vpc_us-west-2 and vpc_us_east_1 YAML templates with the parser location reported at line 208, column 74. Start by validating the selected template using AWS CloudFormation's standard YAML validation and inspect the content shown around that location. Done means the VPC template parses successfully.
