Their identity is that tens of thousands of Calgarians looked at real estate and saw they could have a bit more house/a new house in Airdire for the same price as Calgary, so they moved and then squirm to justify literally everything else about living there.
It's pretty much all negative besides house prices, and their main justification that it's away from the crazy hustle life style of Calgary is kind of silly because being there isn't any different from being in any number of Calgary communities.
That explanation makes total sense if you move to a smaller, more out of the way, preferably western town outside Calgary. With Airdire they're just big and close enough to not have that small town, away from the city feel, yet too small to stay there exclusively and not use the city of Calgary regularly.
