Ahhh, so it's not like Okotoks where the booming job market and superior amenities are bringing people in droves?
In all seriousness, if I had to pick a satelite town to live in, I'd pick Cochrane. Crowchild and the NW LRT are good routes into the city for the most part. And you live in a place that doesn't feel exactly the same as suburban Calgary (what is the appeal of Airdrie?). You have nice views of the mountains and you're parked right in the foothills. It's a nice area. That drive every day would kill me though. In the winter you can be looking at 2 hours plus from Rocky Ridge where I used to live. I can't imagine Cochrane.
