From talking to people since I moved back here 3 weeks ago, I don't think it's a phobia of heights rather a phobia of change. I find that the city as a whole has become complacent with the status quo so to speak and feel that it worked for years and years and years so why change it now.
One major thing I have noticed is the fact of the enormous increase to the cost of living for St. John's. I know the oil and gas has been good to the province but man oh man if you are not working in O&G for the most part you are screwed.
