The arena will begin to push more towers, 2 are already past the bidding stage and EPCOR is planning another tower. Lets touch on the vacancy rate now, haven't heard you talk about that. Just because more towers are built doesn't mean that it creates more employees to fill them.
How about the commute, living in south Calgary and working downtown is fantastic. I know this firsthand, Memorial and Deerfoot are dream roads.

I haven't mentioned the vacancy rate or the commute because it's something I'm not familiar with (commute somewhat, go Ctrain) so I stayed away from it. That's something you might try as well. I have the option of living in Calgary or Edmonton then flying away for work. Calgary is the easiest pick, it wasn't even close.
Let's quickly touch on "The Edmontonian" again because I just want to make this clear. It's simply been proposed, saying "it isn't being built yet" just isn't true. We have no idea what will happen with that building. I left out Calgary's proposed buildings for a reason.
World Cup, airport being closed so taller buildings will definitely happen... Just stick to actual things. The beautiful river valley, it's one of the true beautiful parts of Edmonton, but you're fighting a losing battle bringing up much else.
