It might just be that as far as the future of what happens inside the city of Calgary limits is concerned that reality is ultimately unavoidable. Just don't think that the reaction to that will be full capitulation and a movement en masse into townhomes and low-to-medium rise buildings. 'Parasite' communities are going to grow.

I can agree with this. However, I'm of the personal opinion think the concept of a 'detached' home gets more attention than it should in this day and age. There is nothing wrong having your home attached to someone else's in the name of sustainability, efficiency and densification.
