If you think SJ is doing fine, I'm doubtful you've read anything recently about the city. Major employers have continued laying people off, as the city's rate of poverty and crime increases, as the city cuts back on public services (such as police), as the city is dealing with deciding which parts of its sprawled infrastructure to maintain (they cannot maintain it all).
SJ, contrary to Moncton, has at least begun to densify its core, though not at all at a fast enough pace to build its tax base enough to handle the increasing costs of everything.
