As for urban sprawl, not everyone wants to live in an apartment downtown. Some people, believe it or not, like having a backyard for their kids to play in. I know it's totally unreasonable to you, Mr. Suzuki, but it's true.

Agreed, and that is what makes Suzuki an extremist, rather than a rational authority.
Deerfoot Meadows is a jungle, and would have been much better made as an outdoor mall, with all the stores together, and the lot surrounding it.
There are better ways to design suburbs to make them more walkable... such as a town design. People want their single detached home with a yard and there's nothing wrong with that. If Calgary won't provide it, the satellites will, and that will only bring in new and greater problems.
