For those posters who loathe municipal politics and think it's a bunch of jackholes working there, please keep in mind that those making decisions at the City are not some public-sector raised heathens blinded by tax revenues. Most, if not all, came from the private sector, and have at least an understanding of management in general.

I understand the grief with particular people, but someone has to run the City as best as they can, and trying to run a place like Calgary given it's abnormal economic growth is a tough challenge. And when you use a democratic process, you can't expect everyone on Council or any other group to agree with each other. Everyone comes from different opinions and backgrounds, and frankly, good things emerge when ideas challenge each other, even if some people would love to see consensus.

I bet there's just as many people in the big corporate offices downtown who could barely do a better job.
