Q: Can anyone tell me about Calgary, AB? What is it like there? What is the crime like there? Is rent expensive compared to Ontario? Are there alot of jobs available? What about cities outside of Calgary? What are they like? Is Calgary hard to get around by car? How much are cigarettes out there right now? Where are some areas to stay away from when looking up apartments? Is it true alot of jobs pay $13 and hour and up? Is the cost of living high? Thanks :D:D
A: I just left Calgary for Europe. I hated it. It is a very depressing place. It has gotten really expensive. It is super hard to find an apartment. There are lots of jobs but they seem to treat people like crap. Even though some places are paying high it isn't enough. I was making 22/hr and lived with my husband who was also working and we lived alright but we couldn't save. We never would have been able to afford a house. Plus Calgary has sooo many bums. It is descusting. Lots of drug dealers everywhere. I couldn't walk anywhere with out getting bugged for spare change. The traffic is really bad. Stay away from the NE all together. It is where all the gangs are. Bridgelands is okay though but expensive. Just south of downtown isn't too bad. There are lots of Vietnamese gangs now. I just don't like it there. I would rather live in Ontario. Less dumb red necks. They have some culture. Oh, the other thing about Calgary is the service is horrible. People don't care and are very rude. We live in Copenhagen now which is supposed to be about the 3rd most expensive city in the world and we are living better on one salary then we were in Calgary.
