Be realistic. You know exactly what he's talking about. Roads, fire, police, ambulance services, recycling, garbage pickup, there are alot of things. The further they have to drive out, the more expensive it gets, and the less sense it makes for people who live in high-density areas, such as downtown.

I live in a condo building; everybody's garbage gets picked up from one location. I'm not a fan of paying to drive huge, gas consuming trucks around for hundreds of kilometers just so everyone can have their big houses in the 'burbs.

I think this has been beaten to death, and I'm just going to get hammered on this all over again.

My point - Calgary can be made more liveable by densifying.
