I think we should work with what we have and build up more nodes within the city. I don't believe that a city with one "go-to" location is appealing at all (not that Calgary is because DT sucks balls here anyways).
Just out of interest...how many of the people wishing for more urban density have actually lived in a dense area? Furthermore, how many have posted in the GMG thread about other people doing stuff (noise, parking, driving etc etc). It seems like there is a massive disconnect between what is found fashionable and the reality of actually living in a location with significant density.
Maybe not all of you but I am sure that many are just on the latte-sucking fashion train of being a sprawl basher.
And back to the thread (probably already posted but I skimmed)...wonder if they will riot in protest?
