Everything else though? Today's Calgary blows it out of the water.
And traffic, especially if you live in the SW where Stoney isn't completed yet. Glenmore is a disaster in this area every day without fail. MacLeod north of Southland is generally a mess as well, that was my go-to road back in the day.

I'd also say there's a certain snobby/DB'ness that didn't exist back in the 90s, but I may chalk that up to simply not seeing it back then because I was a student living in the burbs, and now I work in the core. I'm sure downtown has always had its snobby elements.

If you're in the right areas it's beautiful though, downtown looks amazing from the River Walk side. Calgary really did grow up in the years I was gone.
