See how easy that is?

Fun fact: When giving architect Norman Foster their vision for the Bow building, Encana asked that it be "fat" enough to be visible from the deep south of the city.

.... So that the janitorial team could see it from their bedroom windows in Mackenzie Town.
Or is it 'Towne'?

You obviously haven't spent much time in NE Calgary if you think the south is the area full of dumb unskilled laborers.

How can the North see downtown through all the gunsmoke and arson fire is what I'm curious about.

Then you could say you were coming home from lethbridge and you had to go get gas in Mackenzie towne in the Too Far South East. It was a bit sketchy but at least you could stop at a dealer's house you knew. Also that was a better option than hitting up a street dealer in the Central East and taking THE Deerfoot you'd fly past the dangerous CE, the NE, stop for munchies in the Too Far North East and then have only 20 minutes left to Airdrie.

Pfft, the roughly 2.5km radius of Calgary around my home is far superior to the roughly 2.5km radius of Calgary around your home.

I actually wonder where they get the data from. I didn't report my net worth on my tax return, and I wouldn't tell it to a pollster... It seems about right, I'm just curious on their sourcing.

So how T2T have an average net worth of 949k then? I get that there are estate houses and whatnot in there as well, but one building with 20 units in it averages down a lot of single family homes.
What would the average net worth be for those living in rental apartments in Bankview? I bet it's somewhere between -50,000 and +50,000. Which makes a nearly million dollar average net worth for the area hard to believe, imo.
