Well, there's other locations where you can get inner-city property in up-and-coming neighbourhoods, not just the established ones like Elbow Park and Mount Royal. I'm calling it right now, Bridgeland is going to be the next big trend. There's also the western end of downtown, there's Bankview, there's also places like Renfrew and northern Crescent Heights... prices are going up (lets call a spade a spade), but to suggest it isn't affordable means you aren't looking hard enough, IMO. And if moving to these areas means reducing your dependency on vehicles to save money... then so be it. There's a huge movement going on right now to reduce dependency on vehicles... I couldn't agree more. And when you're central, you reasons for owning a vehicle drop.
