After driving the kid back and forth to hockey at South Fish Creek arena this past week, I do not understand why people with free will choose to live that far away from work. Also the probability of driving behind someone doing 10-15 kph below the speed limit seems to increase the further you get away from the core. People who live in Okotoks deserve the Nobel peace prize for patience.
If you can do that commute for a couple years then you can get through anything.

I dunno, all the interior reno's look the same to me. Every reno of an old home I've seen have a similar theme: hardwood throughout, new kitchen cabinets, granite, and stainless steel appliances, so basically the same cookie cutter type themes as the houses in the new communities.
I'll grant you, it's the commute that puts suburban homes in a disadvantage though. But because I don't work downtown, to me it's not that big a deal.
