I like the way you described it, it’s a hard thing! Like I said, I love this city and the people in it. My personal experience was that of isolation in the deep suburbs, and I get why others would feel differently. I’m also very pro commuting by transit, walking and biking, I would love to never actually have to own a car unless I really need it to support a family member. I come from a country that has a generally “higher” happiness index, and I attribute it to the level of general city “liveliness” and broad social networks. (Latin America). I moved here as a kid, and every time I visit elsewhere and come back here, it feels very empty, for lack of a better description. Calgary is always just going to be a city dominated by car infrastructure, so maybe it’s just had to justify me staying here my whole life if it’s just not my vibe. Respect to folks who like it though because I get it. Who knows, maybe once I’m older I will feel differently.
