Selfish/narrow-minded, I don't know? Maybe you are... It's like me turning up my nose at fat people, I choose to live a certain way and fat/unhealthy people annoy me so I'm going to be all smug towards them and feel a greater self worth becuase I'm feeling like I do something better than them. I don't do that... I think being like that would indicate I'm the one with a problem, not others.

Well good luck with your choice of thinking, I just don't happen to agree. I will always be smug towards suburban expansion and consider it a huge detriment to Calgary's well-being financially and ecologically, but I guess some people just won't see the other side of the coin. Fair enough, I don't expect you to. We've discussed this before with similar conclusions, nothing new here.
