Calgary is a fucking disaster. Going downtown at 7:30 or so just before the sun rises, there’s only a few floors of buildings with lights on. At certain times you can see right through the empty buildings. Reported office vacancy rates are 30%, though it’s got to be a lot higher as companies are still stuck with long term leases for floor space they’re not using and can’t find someone to sublet to.
Transit is to be avoided at all costs, even in rush hour there’s plenty of room. The only really safe part of the train is the lead car where the operator is. Pre Covid I saw homeless guys drinking beer and vomiting on themselves, now it’s meth.
Nenshi and co are so focused on bullshit like residential speed limits and racism in the police force that they forget that were being squeezed to the limit with taxes.
