Secondly, I applaud the Braeside residents for putting up a fight and getting their way, it shows that Calgarians stand up for their rights. I've seen a lot of posts from Vancouverites about how bad this kind of site affects neighborhoods in Vancouver, they sound envious!

I honestly think that one day Calgary will end up with its own version of East Hastings (Vancouver). It will be a win for the NIMBY residents, but a loss for the city as a whole.
