IMO, a home isn't just about the four walls you sleep in. It's also about the community and town/city into which you're buying. From that perspective, I don't understand how somebody could buy anywhere within a 30 minute drive from Calgary, that isn't in Calgary. Restaurants, malls, businesses (work opportunities), University, arts, Heritage Park, Calaway Park, Science Centre, etc. etc. are in Calgary. Maybe you'll have a bit bigger house, but you'll have way less opportunity for a higher quality of life. Can't for the life of me imagine how moving to a parasite community could make sense to anybody.
