Lethbridge VS Calgary: Which City Should You Choose?

[@InderjeetSingh-v6j]

Thanks sir, this is great information.

[@LivingInLethbridge]

Thanks!

[@nwc3270]

Lethbridge use to be a suburb of Fort Macleod, the wind blew it to the location it is at today

[@seanmeagher4754]

I'd move to almost any other non Calgary/Edmonton town/city in Alberta before Lethbridge

[@dillankellymortgagebroker]

Great info Murray!

Great stuff.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ah Lethbridge the only airport in Canada that uses a chain for a wind sock. When the sock hangs straight down the wind is calm. LOL

[@LivingInLethbridge]

hahaha, I dont know if you are being serious but we are home to the largest wind gauge in the world so that is something.

[@AltaHangman]

@@LivingInLethbridge Just joking. However Lethbridge is known as the windy city. Many chinooks.

[@Veepet856]

When I moved from Calgary to Lethbridge my stress level dropped by at least 50%. Love Lethbridge. If I want excitement, I drive to Calgary for a weekend.

[@TheRobTV]

Ive been to Lethbridge and red deer. Lethbridge is less stressful to drive around.

[@LivingInLethbridge]

Red Deer has so much through traffic with crazy drivers from Edmonton and Calgary. It is funny you mention that. People that have lived in Lethbridge their whole life will still complain about Lethbridge drivers.

Thank you

ONE QUESTION? If property taxes are lower in Calgary ... Why is rent higher. This is interesting info. I wish I knew more about economics.

[@LivingInLethbridge]

Rent is directly tied to home prices and home prices are much higher in Calgary.

[@Shauna-m1o]

@@LivingInLethbridge Ok I think I understand... rent has to do with the owners mortgage rather than their property tax.

[@DamienMalakay]

No comparison really come on. You'd be lucky to find a job in Lethbridge. Calgary has an International Airport, Rockies literally 45 mins from Calgary. Sure home prices are going up but its relevant to where you live right? What's the point of buying a cheap home where you will definitely miss things. A better comparison should be Vancouver vs Calgary or Toronto vs Vancouver but Lethbridge has no business competing with a big city like Calgary. Calgary has the Stampede, Amazon's distribution center and Amazon Web Services just opened their location North of Calgary. If you wanna get ahead in life and get experience you'll definitely wanna leave Lethbridge. I had a really close friend who told me about growing up there and he said it's one of those towns that if you dont get out while you're young you end up never leaving. I'd take Edmonton over Lethbridge

[@mattmarlo5853]

There's a reason it's cheaper to live in Lethbridge. Ain't shit to do there but drink. And last time I went there, it literally smelled like shit.

[@marktynan6045]

You made a mistake Red Deer is the 3rd largest not Lethbridge the difference is about 3000

[@DinoCism]

Neither. If you do don't expect a functioning transit system in either.

[@adamspencer5142]

There is meth in every community... but only one place in Canada is named after the drug...

[@joeballer4036]

Fort Mac?

[@grantw7946]

Methbridge

[@LivingInLethbridge]

Thanks for the well thought out insightful comment Grant.

[@grantw7946]

@@LivingInLethbridge Had a next door neighbour from Lethbridge that called it Methbrdige. I kind of like LB cause it has most services like Cowgary and better weather by far.

[@grantw7946]

@@LivingInLethbridge I moved back to Calgary from Medicine Hat because the place is full of half wit emotionally flawed people that never changed in 40 yrs.

[@classic.cameras]

If you suffer from migraines. Avoid Lethbridge at all costs. Heck even Calgary is terrible but not as bad.

[@marktynan6045]

All this video is, is over playing the upsides and under playing the downsides it's called methbridge because it's the drug capital of Alberta its got more drugs per person than anywhere in Alberta that being said Alberta is pretty drug free in comparison to BC the drug capital of Canada the other thing is that even though housing prices are lower jobs are also lower paying in Lethbridge if you want a less biased opinion you shouldn't watch a video by a channel that literally says he's a Lethbridge realtor

[@LivingInLethbridge]

Since COVID there are tons of people that were previously working in the office that are now able to work 100% remotely. Lots of my buyers moving here fit this criteria. They are able to buy their first-ever home here. Alberta as a whole has some of the highest paying jobs. Yeah, you could possibly make more in Calgary but their home prices are nearly double that in Lethbridge. Their salaries on the other hand are definitely not double on average. You have to look at the full picture.

[@guyl9456]

Lethbridge VS Calgary? None of them. First -40 C is common. Then cities made for cars worse than the US. Third the province went all the way to make sure the French language would NEVER be spoken in parliament and .. they won over a technicality. I could go on and on. To each its own. They would give me a billion and I would not live there. As for cultural life... well forget about it.

[@LivingInLethbridge]

@@guyl9456 -40 is not common.

[@ohdamnitsthatguy60]

Calgary is windy because of " people in government". 😆😆😆😆😆
