I manage and that’s about all, couldn’t imagine actually living in the cess pool it has become.

I had the same thought and I have lived here all my life. Then a few years back we drove up to my aunts 80th bday in Vancouver and I had to drive my car around for 4 days.
1. Not a manual transmission friendly area with all the stop and go hilly roads lol.
2. I said I would never complain about Edmonton traffic again, so far I have not. Drivers, different story.
And ya, living here for 57 years, I think the last 15 to 20 ish is when I seen the most down turn in cleanliness, safety, crime/homelessness and all around feeling good about living here. With the way the city councils have gone and now being Redmonton, the thought of moving just outside to a outer hub town is in my head more and more these days.
