Actually let me say that a different way: we don't need new communities or suburbs. What we need is inner city densification and time to allow the damn infrastructure to catch up.

In 2018, Calgary's council voted on 14 new suburban developments. The professional city planners recommended to council that only six be approved. A majority of pro-developer councillors voted to approve all 14. Yesterday, developers bought
an additional 11 new communities to council for approval. This time, the professional city planners recommended that
none of them be approved. The final vote in council is scheduled for next week.
If you're concerned about your property taxes going up, opposing unchecked urban sprawl is one of -- if not
the -- biggest things you can do to keep City spending under control. Contact your councillor before next week's vote and let them know you're opposed to these new communities.
