I have to disagree. I live in Calgary and it's beautiful but the economy isn't booming anymore. As a matter of fact more people is living Calgary and relocating to other provinces as the economic boom is gone, at least for now.
I like the NW part of the city, not the NE so much.

But you would say that for people with stable income the city is Ok to live in. is not a rundown city that people just leaving because is no life, no business, houses vandalize and abandon.Is NE safe to live..
