One of the highest salaries in the country while the cost of living is one of the lowest. Housing is very cheap compared to other Canadian cities.
Poor management.
Terrible roadways.
Road construction everywhere in every part of the city 365 days a year.
Needless barricades blocking important arteries in traffic kill private production, curb efficency and is otherwise wastefulness for tax payers.
City poorly managed. Very sloppy city coordination where many road construction projects last for months and months, sometimes years where many days no workers or work being done.
Many road profects are continuously in the same spots where the road get dug up with a year many times.
Sloppy wasteful city managment!
#1 - Weather.
Weather conditions lock you in your home for LITERALLY half the year (unless you don't mind skiing, running, or doing anything else outside in very cold weather). The most simple thing you can do almost anywhere, is to go outside for a walk, and it's not really appealing to most when it's in cold weather; The cold weather that lasts for over 5½-6 months of the year.
#2 - It's NOT cheap here.
Yes, we don't have provincial (Harmonized) sales tax, but the crappiest apartment in the city cost around $1000(Canadian)/month.
When the oil industry is moving, almost anyone can make money here. Either with real estate, or working directly or indirectly in the oil industry.
People come here for work (when it's available), make their money, and then leave when the well runs dry. What wrecked Edmonton, as well as many other places in the world, was the oil boom of 2005. Housing prices went up by 275%, while wages only moved up 10%-20%. Prices haven't really come down since, and the well has indeed run dry. Without oil and what it does for our economy, it's basically unlivable. Before the oil boom, this place was livable, but now it's just not.
Don't get me wrong, it's not the WORST place in Canada. It has a lot to offer, but maybe, just for a visit. If you're thinking about moving here, you can do better.
say, if a person was earning around $120k annually before tax, would that enough to live an above average kinda of a life style?
or a "happier" life?
You will not buy a cheese below 40 C$.
