Disclaimer** I only read to post 140 before getting really annoyed by Muta and Ozy...
You guys are arguing what? Last week you said you live in westbrook or shaganappi. Now you're railing hillhurst? Hillhurst is closer to DT than you are, boys.
And this culture experience? Maybe you've never left your 5 km radius, but there are live band venues all over the city.
Next up, you're dissing peopel that live in cookie cutter houses? You live in an apartment building! What difference is there? Do you think that every suite in your building is different and "unique"? More cultured? Does your building look any different than the one next to it?
And urban sprawl... Nice numbers you've got there, muta. Are you factoring into to your equations that the city of Van has cities right at it's borders? Perhaps this leads to a higher density?
Man, you guys really just sound like you're complaining for the sake of complaining.
About the only thing your neighbourhood offers is Aussie Rules. Other than that, you're living in the armpit of calgary. At least Mcleod tr has a bunch of different restaurants, bars, clubs, even live music (red onion), movie theaters, grocery stores, commercial and office spaces, car dealerships, malls... Ditto for crowchild north. 36th street NE? Deerfoot south, even westhills.
Us suburbanites in our barren wastelands need not go far to get what we want and need. So go ahead and whine about urban sprawl... You're travelling farther than most suburbanites for your day to day needs.
