Do you still see Winnipeg as Canada's average joe city?

Where a regular person who has basic competence at their job and life can have a comfortable middle class lifestyle.
Basically the opposite of a city like Toronto where you have to stay ahead of your field and compete with ambitious type A people as well.

Ex-Winnipegger. I have lots of nice things to say about the city.
I don't think it would be stupid for Winnipeg to see some revitalization, investment and more modern zoning and civil planning. And don't even get me started on poverty reduction.
There are not only derelict houses sitting vacant neighborhood eyesores for years, but whole city blocks full of them. And derelict apartments and homes that are still occupied. And malls and parts of the city you have to completely avoid. And highly common, visible, shocking scenes of poverty and crime.
I live in Edmonton now, where there is a lot of municipal and private investment and such scenes (apart from homelessness/poverty) are quite rare. We affectionately term rough looking neighborhoods and buildings 'Winnipeg-core'.
Winnipeg could use a glow up big time. While there are some charming neighborhoods and beautiful and impressive places in the city, the fact that it's a city in decline and that many of it's residents are suffering shows no matter where you are within its borders.
