To some degree, everyone regardless of generation, finds comfort in continuing the way they are used to doing things and difficulty in doing things differently . So for the generation that is used to interacting with others online or electronically having to interact with strangers IRL may be...

Because the convention centre, larger hotels and major business offices are downtown.

It sounds like the delays are more related to money than construction issues.

If they can't fix this monstrosity they should really just tear it down and start again.

Yes, lets not forget everything is not perfect elsewhere either. Interestingly, Montreal also does not have LRT to its airport either, although they are working on it. I really don't feel it is productive to just hash out a long list of problems, we need to focus on and fix the ones that we...

True, but compared to almost any other city in Canada, accommodation here is still more affordable so then you would think nightlife would be doing better here. Also not every club or bar is that expensive. Mainly I feel going out is not as much in fashion for the current younger generation as...

Yes, I still have great memories of going to the top floor of the AGT (now Telus) building when that was open to the public with friends visiting from elsewhere in Canada. Last time I went to Toronto, I did the tourist thing and went to the CN tower, which was great. On the other hand...

Yes, that is so annoying too but I have to give at least them some credit for finding another new misleading claim to put ahead of it.

Yes, I think the desire to somehow try satisfy everyone and not really please anyone is part of the reason this has filled so slowly. This could never really be affordable given the location, but with better architecture style and quality it might have appealed more to those who were not so...

Yes, it seems to be filling gradually one space at a time, which I suppose is better than not. In a few years there will be big companies kicking themselves for being to cautious and not getting in here while they could.

Yes, or maybe they are also somehow counting construction workers building all those new houses as industry. It seems to be very much a bedroom community, but with major employers like the Grey Nuns nearby in south Edmonton and the Nisku industrial area just to the south, that makes sense.

Yes, while all of those are problems, the second and the third are probably easier for us to fix in the short to mid term. So maybe we should focus on them.

Yes, the original plan was and still is great, some later additions not so good.

Yes, perhaps the confusion arises because there are actually two different groups here. First of all, people who are cool and hip, secondly, those who have some money and think they are cool and hip. Maybe there is some cross over between the two groups, but probably not as much as some think.

Actually, half streets and avenues that go nowhere more accurately describes our suburban areas. Downtown still has a grid pattern, so if you can't use 102 Street, 103 or 104 works. I was trying to be understanding and polite, but apparently that is considered passive aggressive, so I'll be...

... and while we are putting in our requests, better interaction with the street than their last addition as well please.

Yes, makes sense especially with Cask and Barrel right next door. It is nice to have this space on the corner, which was vacant for a while, finally filled. This block will be quite good now.

$20 is less than a cab ride, so I expect this would appeal to others as well as business travelers. For those that are more frugal, bus/LRT and 747 already works.

Apparently. Although I am only aware of one live performing arts venue nearby (with two theaters), so not sure if that really counts as a "district", except maybe in real estate superlative speak.

When extremists take over there can be some energy initially, as they are very motivated, but over time they turn off and alienate more moderate supporters, some who are driven out, but more who often just quietly go. A similar thing happening here as in the US, except the extremists are not...
