It isn't though...
Mature neighborhoods are having some challenges ^in certain areas, while others are thriving.
MacEwan is consolidating it's university downtown, 4000 new students, Norquest College is doubling its size.
Corporately things are improving and putting Stantec ^in the core means 1700 new workers.
The arena district will bring 2-4million people downtown a year.
etc etc
