"My Argument" was not that commutes are/aren't impacted by sprawl. My argument is that most of the people that live in the suburbs DO NOT work downtown, therefore, the ones that hold inner city living in such high regard can stop demonizing the people living outside that "special" perimeter, since most of them aren't even entering your sphere.

I don't know what will ever please you. The subsidy thing clearly isn't enough. Maybe Calgary needs to become two cities. Inner Calgary and Outer Calgary. We can pay to enter, and you can pay to exit. Sounds fair.
