I like golfing in the summer, skiing in the winter, and travelling to sun destinations. If it takes more than a union-mandated 37.5 hour work week and a liberal arts degree for education to be able to afford a lifestyle that enables me to do those things then so be it, I'm willing to pay that price. If Calgary happens to have a lot of people like me who don't mind putting in late and harder hours to afford what they want in life then naturally day to day life in Calgary will be a little less compromising towards the 'just hanging out in a coffee shop/park on a weekday' crowd.
If all one wants is their basic needs met and enough time to play bongos in the park, all the power to them. I just think that those people shouldn't expect that the providing basic needs part be monetarily subsidized by those who do not share such lifestyle desires as an active effort to artificially force a place to be more friendly to the 'just haning out in a coffee shop/park on a weekday' crowd.
