Only 22% of Calgarians work downtown...

Anyone have any other numbers on this other than what is quoted in the following: (pg. 16.)

With the city as large as it is (area wise) I'm surprised its that high.

Doesn't Calgary have one of the highest downtown work population's relative to total population in North America?

Have you been to downtown after 5pm? EMPTY

I think you're confusing Vancouver's with Calgary's downtown.

I think you misread what he wrote.

Yes, yes I did.

I read in a textbook San Fran is about 12%, LA a bit lower. 22% is high relative to other NA cities. New York being the exception because the entire island is a downtown.

Ummm... yup... most people are off of work by then.. probably not the best time to judge our downtown work population.

That's what I thought. Our entire city's like a big, work funnel towards downtown every morning and then the opposite at night. Everyone floods into work for 8-9:00am and leaves accordingly at the end of the day.
