Higher density does not mean high density. It is very possible that Calgary can increase its density without having everyone living atop each other.

It's like the city council equivalent of "taking your ball and going home" until someone else says sorry for upsetting you. I agree that some comments were likely out of line before by home bulder reps, but this is no way to handle the situation as the mayor of a major metropolis and a guy that ran a campaign on getting along with others and openness in council.

If the CHBA have been the ones acting like children not getting their way and made false, slanderous statements then I can see the Mayor being spot on. In this open, collaborative environment he is attempting to create, there is no room for the CHBA's alleged behaviour and it must not be tolerated.
