Maybe not driven out of Calgary but between 10 and 15 years ago there was a fairly significant mass exodus of upper middle class families out of Calgary and into communities like Priddis, Heritage Pointe, Elbow Valley, Springbank, De Winton, Bearspaw. During that period of time there wasn't much excitement or desire or growth in the inner city. Over the last 5 years those folks have been slowly drawn back into, now desirable, inner city communities.
In the late 90's my parents considered building in Glen Eagles, Elbow Valley/Discovery Ridge or Heritage Pointe. They settled for Evergreen Estate. In 2004/2005 my parents moved into the inner city because being in the suburbs sucked and they also didn't need as much house anymore. I was out on my own and my bro was away at University so a lifestyle change was easy to do.
