And again, the experience and preferences of middle-class people are irrelevant to the topic. I remember back when a bunch of NHL players lived in Oakridge. The notion of an NHLer today living in a neighbourhood like Oakridge is comical.

19th place for a (13th) place team? Big whoop. Sure I'll give you LA, Anahaim, Boston and NY..... but the rest, meh. I think there is too much envy for American cities, not sure why. (Whats really so great about Columbas, Minnisota, Phoenix, etc? I do really like Boulder, CO which is within a earshot of Denver.) I'll give you restaraunts, sure (and I realize this is a big factor). Maybe some people really really like shopping. I think Calgary has better things to offer.
(to answer your question, most of them are American women but we aren't millionairs...)
