1. How can you prove that the person who lives in Tuscany, Hawkwood, Edgemont, etc. doesn't work at the Foothills/Children's hospital, UofC, Local school, West of the city, out of town, Crowfoot professional buildings etc.? Same goes for any suburb. What about the majority that live in the suburbs that like it? Wait, tax them more because the minority wants trendy shops, condo's and nice shops and strolls around downtown.
2. People moving here and their expectations? Wow - that's something I really could not care at all about! If someone moved here and was upset because it didn't meet their expectations I'd think they were an idiot.
