Calgary - In my opinion...
Pros:
- Weather
- Hockey team (prob not for much longer though)
- Proximity to mountains
- Low taxes
- Very clean city, usually.
- Fish Creek park
- The bow (great fly fishing)
- Plenty of good paying work
Cons:
- Too many people, most of them rude. (Calgary has the most rude people of any place I've lived)
- Snobbiest people
- Red light cameras -- WTF?
- Some areas of the city really stink
- Traffic fucking blows, and the city is way too spread out.
- Shitty snow removal/sanding in the winter.
- Cost of living is high, compared to smaller / poorer cities.
I guess I live here because of the proximity to the mountains, I do lot's of outdoors things. I loved fish creek when I lived close. Now I live around sait and i have to plug my fucking nose to go outside or I choke from exhaust fumes.
All in all, my biggest problem with Calgary is Calgarians... Rude self righteous bunch. Almost all of my friends here are from BC or Sask. (I'm originally from Sask myself)
Now before the other Calgarians jump all over me, not all Calgarians are like that... But more than anywhere else I've lived.
My favorite city in Canada is North Vancouver, followed by Sask. I've only been further east than Winnipeg a few times, so I can't judge any of the cities out there very well.
