Not really my views but I think that Calgarians that are in the McIver camp are not exactly looking for the cheapest total overall spending bill, but rather the cheapest overall spending bill that includes a large availability of 2000 Sq foot detached houses that cost less than $500,000. Sprawl isn't a concern for someone that wants their slice of paradise. What 'Bend It' was trying to communicate is that there are plenty of people who don't want to see Calgary turn into a higher density place. They want a quiet street for their kids to play street hockey on and a backyard for them to play in. They don't care if commutes are upwards of an hour each way, as long as they get their dreamhouse.
