Well then the problem isnt the communities it's the city planning. It's been apparent for quite some time that Calgary is becoming very close to these outlying cities like Airdrie and Cochrane and that a lot of the people that live in these places are part of the Calgary work force. The city should have planned it better and seems to be reactionary rather than proactive about these situations. Dont blame the people who choose to live in areas where it's cheaper (although not by much I dont think).
