My disdain stems from how every thread with a remote connection to central/suburban development get hijacked and the same arguments are put forth. Start an 'ongoing' thread if you like.

The problem here is that this thread is however many pages it is
because the bridge was turned into a symbol for this twisted war between "suburbs and inner city." I too think it has turned into a bit of a monster all its own. Does the "inner city" "side" have a persecution complex? Does the "suburb" "side" have a false sense of entitlement and dislike for a misplaced perception of elitism? I would say it's a little of both.
Stepping back a bit, I think it is illustrative of where Calgary is as a city within the context of greater North American and international trends in 2012. Where Calgary is at in terms of size and direction has really produced that divergence of opinions on where we have been, where we are, and where we should go and how to get there.
Anyway, I know I was stepping out a bit in calling you out and really shouldn't have given our conversations in the past (where I think we have reached understanding).
