Yeah I thought that street was sketchy too, but, like anywhere else, just mind your own business and you're fine. Overall, the downtown looks crappier (in some areas, not all) but it's a much more walkable city with more street level activity and culture (especially the west side of downtown, so awesome). Plus, with NHL / NBA / MLB / NFL there along with the mountains, from a sports perspective, there is quite a bit to do there.
I don't hold these kinds of comments against Joe. If that's what he prefers, that's what he prefers. Just because you're from Calgary doesn't mean you have to defend it at every chance.
