I want to live somewhere with a population of 15-25K. That's just right for me.
I live in a city that approaches 500,000 now and I hate it.

I would really really doubt Calgary having more office space than Toronto. Maybe new office space being built at the moment....but overall, no way jose.

Ideally I would live in a big city (ie, where i live now) with access to the country with a population of 0 outside of me and my family. I love both, and don't think I could live with just one.
Perspectice is everything though. When i used to live in Calgary, I always thought it was a pretty big metropolis. Now that I live in NY, everytime i go back home it's basically like visiting a small city..nice and quiet, clean, and everyone drives so peacefully, ha.

the size of San Jose California. What's great is that the city is Calgary sized but because of all the surrounding cities (Santa Clara, Fremont, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, Campbell, Los Gatos etc etc etc) its a lot more but they are their own cities. I LOVE IT!

It's like me saying Sudbury (where I live) is 160,000, when in fact the actual city of Sudbury is much smaller than that (about 90,000). Add in all the smaller outlying communities (which one would almost never go to for any other reason except to visit friends/family...certainly not shopping/sporting events/etc.) and you bump up the "greater" or "metro" population.
I know you know all that already, but I guess I don't consider the "metro" population to be very representative of the size of the city when debating a topic like this. |
In that case:
London, UK: 7,800
Vancouver: 611,869
San Francisco: 764, 976
Calgary: 1,042,892
Hmmmmmmmmm.........

Not considering the metro of a city as part of its population is just ignorant of reality. People in the suburbs work downtown, use the same malls, drive the same roads....
