I do, very much like where I live! Will I retire here, possibly, that will depend on what my son is doing really. But if he were to stay here I would have no problem staying here, at least for the summer...winter may have to be else where lol.
Pros:
We are getting more and more every day, more stores, more amenities, more activities. It's a fair sized city, 80,000-100,000 people, plus probably 30,000+ more shadow population. We have lots of outdoor activities, all year around (if winter sports are your thing lol), we have quadding trails, walking trails, a small ski hill, a wave pool with water slides, a few very nice gyms, and jobs, lots of jobs that pay very well. We have people from all over the world living here, immigrants and refuges, we have Islamic schools, and multi cultural days, heck McMurray Gospel Assembly, the St. John's Roman Catholic Church and the Markuz - Ul Islam all went together to get land to build their churches on together, that's amazing to me.
Cons:
The world has a very poor view of my home, it has been painted by green peace and their ilk as everything that is wrong with the world, and people believe the propaganda, rather then investigating the truth. It's very disheartening to hear people bash your home when they have never been there, and when they do come they fly over the mines and that's it, they don't look further to find out what is done with. The mines when they are mined out.
We don't have enough mom and pop stores, things here are just too expensive for them to survive unfortunately. And due to wages and rent costs things are more expensive here, including services, and service is not always the best.
In the end I love this place, it has given us a good life, we are able to provide for our families, I was able to afford to travel to my parents house several times during my dad's last year and not have to worry about loosing my job or being able to afford it, this is something I may not have been able to do living elsewhere.
