Why do you want to make it personal? Does it make you feel better? I don't need to have credibility with you and you are nothing to me but an avatar. Please don't make it personal, it's pointless in a forum off-topic chat setting.
What do you know about sprawl that makes you so confident? Can you credibly define sprawl in terms that are universally accepted by the academia? Just repeating that we have sprawl and rejecting any opposing arguments makes you no better than little red book waving angry mob in China.
What we DO have in Calgary is some really unattractive suburban developments, that have been allowed to proceed and that are, btw, fully compliant with the anti-sprawl policies. The market found the way to build them cheaper at the expense of looks, walkability, product mixes etc. This was the point in the article. The market will always find the way to work around restrictive policies in a negative fashion.
