The media doesn't help with this either. "(insert incident here) in the city's southwest". And where does it end up being? 10 metres off Centre Street in Chinatown. It is actually quicker and more concise to just say "Bowness" or "Silver Springs" or "Beddington" that it is to say "in the city's northwest".
The city has a tonne of community names - use those instead. Quadrants are fine for locating exact addresses on numbered roads, but describing a place in sprawling city of a million into only 4 places instead of actual districts is a bit useless in most cases.
