I don't think the city today is worse than in the middle of the boom times right now and many things are better. If you continued to be employed during the boom I think things are better today. Those who lost their jobs wouldn't agree but I don't buy this notion of a Calgary in decay. I think the city is better than 5 years ago right now
You're not wrong, even as someone who is still an unemployed o&g worker. I had read the OP as an economic question, with all the talk of a boom and the Alberta Advantage. Barring a step change in oil and gas prices, probably the Calgary economy has had its best days.
