Well, first of all, Bonavista borders Fish Creek. Fish Creek is amazing. Second, it's an absolute slap in the face to the very concept of natural beauty itself to write Nosehill in the same sentence as Fish Creek. Nosehill is dead grass, tumbleweed and dog crap. It's a blite on Calgary.
Finally, you're talking to a guy that has artificial grass in his backyard. Pretend nature is the best nature. I like things looking and being perfect. Lake Bonavista is basically perfect. I also love that it is exclusionary. Why would I want riff-raff at my lake? And yeah, the mansions that surround the lakes are something else. I live in a normal bungalow a couple blocks away, though. No mansion for this guy.
