Well, there are a lot of cities with projects on hold, not just Calgary. Toronto has a massive blank parcel of rubble at the corner of Yonge and Bloor due to a halted project! I'm not sure greed, is really a great explanation - more like recession (which yes, stemmed from Wall Street Greed not Calgary's) and an unusually extreme period of ups (2005-2007/8) and downs (now). The rest can largely be boiled down to extremely poor construction site management practices and standards in this province.
