And if you want names of other cities less dense than Calgary, go here:

Note that these are CMAs. Calgary is a giant metropolis, which runs counter to the way most cities areas are run. |
The link isn't very useful as I said cities of a million plus. The density of St Stephen doesn't matter because the sparse population doesn't cause congestion on roads everywhere. The best city I can point to if Calgary keeps going the way it is from a growth and lifestyle perspective is Houston, and for anyone who's driven around there ... nobody wants that.
As for Bonavista being built in the 70's ok, accurate point, but why does that matter. The point is to stop the madness regardless of whenever it started.
