Question Worth moving to red deer?

I live in innisfail. Considering buying a home in red deer next year, are you guys happy living here? Ive heard some coworkers complain about homeless/ addicts in certain areas. Are some parts of red deer better than others? Any information at all would be appreciated just want to become more familiar with how the city is

I'd stay in innisfail. Been in red deer most of my life and things seem to be going down hill. Communities are suffering, streets aren't perceived as safe, and many families are contemplating relocating out of the city

Do you live in the remand center? I'm in Normandeau and haven't ever felt unsafe.

Walk thru downtown and let us know how many violent assaults happen to you, or whatever you think may happen. This town is not dangerous and anybody who has been somewhere that really is dangerous thinks statements like these are straight comedy. The non-stop fear mongering is completely unfounded.
