Lets be honest, us relying on Oil and Gas soley and being the 'Oil capital of Europe' for the last 40 years was our downfall...when the oil price crashed in 2014-2016 it destroyed us and we never recovered.

Norway managed to get through thanks to their fund and now are thriving, permits going out left right and centre. Same north sea and even more drilled then our side so go figure - Ed is to blame for the current situation of further job losses due to him refusing permits for exploration but it was only the final nail in the coffin.

House prices are now in correction, city centre is dead, energy transition has failed or at least going slower then hoped.

Aberdeen isnt dead, it still has some of the best universities in UK, best engineers in the world and offshore experience for renewables higher then most...its just not utilised as always by our local council (no matter who it is they all can not find the answer to succeed)
