Actually the 80s were a recession period or a depression if you lost your job. There were buildings half built and stayed that way for maybe 10 years. The Saddledome, the Red Square and the Talisman Centre were the last of the big construction jobs till the 90s. They did expand the C Train though which was a good idea when costs are down.
