How do you figure it costs an extra $50-100k to live downtown? My wife and I bought a condo in the beltline in 2007 (when real estate prices in Calgary were at their peak) for about $300k, which is similar or even less than the price of most homes in the suburbs. Moreover, we don't pay a dime for our daily commutes, saving us thousands every year.
