@westcoastjos Haha, yeah at least that pole looks temporary.
I do love downtown Calgary, and am envious of how filled-out it is and their skyline, as well as how nicely areas like East Village and Beltline are filling in. At the same time, while we still have a long way to go, I think in the long term we'll end up having the more resilient downtown core with a mix of residential, office, educational facilities, and retail, bringing in a diverse demographic that will help keep the core alive even during an economic downturn. As I understand it, that's where Calgary has been hit the hardest - right in the core - despite amazing mixed developments going up all around its edges.
