According to the only data I can find for Chihuahua, the population density of my neighbourhood is 664/km2. My neighbourhood in Calgary is 3,860/km2. Population of my neighbourhood in CUU is ~2200, Calgary is ~10500.

Make this make sense to me please.

Further observations. In Chihuahua I have 2 large grocery stores, at least 3 small mini-supers, 2 Oxxo's (7-11 type stores), 4 hardware stores (including Home Depot) and plenty more within that 15 minute walk.

In Calgary, there's one gas station I can walk to in 15 minutes.

I just finished listening to this, loved the episode! You had a lot of great points in the podcast.

These aren't reporters making $220 000- $400 000 a year they're the execs. The CFO's that manage the money. The COO's that run the org. They compete with private sector salaries in these positions. No one would take the responsibility of a COO at $90 000 if they can make $250 000+ privately

I think the government should be offering competitive wages for their executives compared to the private sector. We want the best and brightest to be able to choose a public sector career, as that's how our government and it's institutions will work better.

Yes please!

That was my experience when I used to sell prints too! I had my favourites I thought would sell well, but others would fly (or trickle in reality :) off of my table.
