Just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there.
2001 article:
Regina receives $1.2 million for homelessness relief
And as much as I hate to say it, what causes homelessness in Calgary is one of the things that I currently enjoy about this city. In less than 2 years the value of my house has gone up $140K. May be a little selfish, but it happens to be true.

For those of us with decent driving records car insurance isn't an issue unless you are under 25. And you also have to compare comperable rates; people in cities the size of Red Deer pay a lot less than the same person in Calgary, because there are fewer accidents in smaller cities. To do a fair comparison, take Winnipeg vs Calgary. I pay less for insurance than my dad, and he actually has a better record than me. (I have a speeding ticket to my name.)
I have no doubt that Regina has some things going for it. But I just find it funny when people move here, and then talk about how great where they lived before was. I did the same thing at first when I moved here from Winnipeg, so I understand. But as soon as I moved back to go to school I realized pretty quick which was the better city.
