GGG pretty much said what I was going to say. Not everyone drives downtown, so your argument about commute is moot. So what is the problem here? Do you want Calgary to stop building? Set a border, and then instead let the bedroom communities build up to the borders of Calgary? I just don't get what is so evil about wanting to live in the City of Calgary, but not want to live downtown. Especially if you work way in the south or in the north.
You latte sippers need to realize this. Not everyone works downtown. In fact, most people don't. And it's funny that you complain in the other thread about development on your inner city street tearing up the road. So it's a pain in the ass to densify the inner city, and it's evil to build on the outskirts. Jesus, is there anywhere that we're allowed to build to accommodate all the people that are buying houses in this city?
