Well monetary reasons would prob be the big one
See my above post. Is it more affordable for a family to:

A) Own a home in the inner city and not own a vehicle
B) Own a home in the suburbs and require two vehicles

I can see the argument that families want yards for the kids to play in (although honestly, the tiny little lots in suburban Calgary hardly make decent play areas), but I don't necessarily think it's more affordable to live in the suburbs, since transportation issues become a huge concern. Inner-city living can mean vehicle-free living.
