I think that claim is bunk. Got any numbers to support that?
Despite HRM's dismal mismanagement, which has let ugly industrial parks like Burnside grow unchecked, the majority of office space is still downtown, not to mention government offices, health authorities, multiple hospitals, and universities.
Also, do you seriously know anyone who "walks" anywhere in Burnside? Other than from parking lot to the the door to their office...
