No one's saying it isn't an awesome place to live, it just has serious problems.

Predictable? Sure, I knew I would get into something in this thread.
Blindly defending? Come on. I'm not defending the downtown east side. It's embarassing that I live 20 minutes from an area like that. At the same time, media makes it seem a lot worse than it is. No, I haven't lived or worked in that area, but whenever I am down there, it's not like I am being bombarded with drug addicts, I'm not stepping in needles. I'm not walking by people who are shooting up. It's a bad area, sure, but it's not dangerous to point where I will stay away at all costs. It's just.....gross.
I am not defending it for the hell of it. There's plenty of criticism of it that's totally warranted, but some of the statements were unfair in my mind and I jumped in. Once again, predictable, sure, but I wasn't making unreasonable claims, was I?
if I started making unfair shots at Calgary, I would see plenty of responses from the CP faithful.
