Could not agree more. I'm tired of rich people being in charge, and then being in their position so long they lose all grip on reality for the everyday citizen.
Actually, BurnThisCity has made some excellent points throughout this thread.
Cities like London and Paris had their amazing buildings built hundreds of years ago. Calgary is barely 100 (I think). When I lived in Germany, I lived in a town that was 720 years old and looked straight out of Beauty and the Beast.
I am sick of people saying Calgary has no culture. It is in our people, music, sports, and access to greenspaces, the mountains, camping/4x4ing.
People who think gay looking buildings mean culture should head to Church Street in Toronto. You'll find a whole shwack of gay buildings there (not that they really look all that different except the flags...).
