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.

Living vehicle free is definitely not an option for me now or prior to having a kid.
If it works for you great but I think you are really undervaluing the role that a vehicle has for the majority of people in NA.
I don't care how close I live to work or the inner core there is no way that I would ever consider not having a car and probably no way that I would consider not having two for my family.
