Let's see, what makes more sense.....building up billion dollars worth of infrastructure around Tyler in the "deep" south that only a few people get to use.....or having people like Tyler live closer in (no deep, just south!), so there's no need to build any new infrastructure (and we have money to improve the existing system that many more people utilize anyway)?

I always find it funny how people move out to the frackin Montana border, and then complain that there aren't enough roads/bridges around them. The more Calgary stretches out the more the city keeps wasting it's money just to mantain these people. Imagine the LRT/Bridges/roads we could have if the city was half the footprint it is now.
