Huh! As a Calgarian, I guess I never saw this side of the coin. I've been watching a lot of skilled tech workers jump ship to Vancouver these past few months, and didn't really make the connection that they were likely already reasonably wealthy enough to do that. My roommate and I are renegotiating our rent soon, but we really like our landlords - makes it tough to justify cutting costs for yourself when you know one of them just got laid off. Wonder if the slowdown will continue to just be a slow descent, or if there'll be something bursting soon.
