I agree with the split-demographic issues. I thought when they redrew the ward 6 boundries they were going to take everything east of sarcee out, but alas, they left those communities south of 17th Ave....(and only took out WestG/Rossc/WildW
Sarcee-west is a lot of younger families with transit, parks, etc as the main issue.
Sarcee-eastwards (Glenbrook, etc) are a lot of older folks with different priorities (lower taxes, fees).
Quite the dichotomy between the two general demographics.
