This is just plain wrong. Have you ever boarded a C Train, particularly on a weekday at 7-8 AM and 5-6 PM? Also the existence and popularity of Park N' Rides kind of bely the "cannot afford a car" thing.
The "point of a C Train" is to move people along high-traffic-volume corridors and operate as the backbone and highest order of the transit system.

Every sizeable city in Canada and North America has some sort of affordable/subsidized/co-op housing stock. While I would say there are ways to improve how they are designed, built, located, managed, etc., it's certainly not a Calgary-only phenomenon.

These types of buildings and housing have been around long before the current mayor and council, and will be here long after even the next mayor and council.
