Here are my reasons why New Brighton sucks azz:

Drive by shooting across the street from my house (hence the start of this thread)
Make sure not to move to 90 percent of communities in Calgary since during the FOB/FOBK breakout couple years back were shootings everywhere. If you look at Calgary crime map over last 6 months there are more incidents in Cranston then in New Brighton

Bums going through garbage bins every week
I have never seen this in new brighton but if you have I will give it to you. No idea how they would get to new brighton unless they took bus which they don't

No School or plans for a school in the future
You do know that come junior high your kids have to go to deer run Don Bosco? Or to Acadia St Mathew. Also elementary school is only k-4 then they are shipped to bonavista. There are schools in Mckenzie Towne that eventually wont be full. It is always in cycles with schools in Calgary. I don't have kids so I don't have to deal with this for at least 8 years

Dump being right next door (Not sure why I overlooked that when I moved here)
This doesn't bother me in anyway but bothers others. After re doing back yard patio I am glad the dump was so close since I saved myself 100 bucks dumping dirt

Influx of new Canadians to the area
Have you been to the city of Calgary before? Influx of new Canadians everywhere

Excessive amount of grow ops
Again grow ops are everywhere! Remember 5 years ago when every other home in chestemere was a grow op? You don't hear about them now.

Our Realtor has told us that New Brighton isn't as desirable as the other communities in the SE.
Can't comment on this I am not a realtor

At least in Cranson they have a school and that area seems to be more desirable then living in New Brighton.
Sure if you want to live around nothing but renters and be even further away from down town.
