My experience is that if somebody loves outside of Calgary (Okotoks, Airdrie, Chestermere, etc...), or the deep south, NW, or SE... take the time they say it takes to get somewhere and add at least 15 minutes to get the actual time it takes to get there.
Once you live in those areas for any amount of time you convince yourself the commute isn't that bad (I used to be one of those people).
In reality, you'll take the money you save on a house and instead will pay for it on added fuel and wear and tear on your car.
