Well for one, not everybody works in the oil and gas sector to enjoy that booming economy, and two, life isn't just about work. What happens outside of work hours is pretty damn important too.
At the end of the day, Calgary is still a relatively small city and just can't compete with a true metropolis in a lot of areas. Not a lot of cutting edge things happen here...wether they be culture, music, shopping, tech, history etc....we're kind of a 2nd/3rd tier kind of place. It's a good place to raise a family, and still get a lot of great stuff....but compared to a lot of places in the world, it's still a bit, uh, podunk?
