Are there any neighbourhoods in Calgary that have increased in value over 30% since 2013. If I was a nervy motivated bugger I would go to the media over this. I think I will contest again despite the waste of time.

Yeah looking at my assessment for this year I gotta wonder as well, I really don't think my 70's townhome/condo has gone up nearly $45k in 3 years. But I can't be bothered to contest it.
