What's wrong with liking Calgary for what it is currently? A semi-sprawling city that has affordable housing (even detached single family) and lower densities that's also pretty easy to get around.

That's the case since the 1950s when the car not just completely supplanted legacy forms of transportation, it massively increased mobility enabling the average person to travel tens of thousands of km a year, rather than a few thousand when they had to do it by train, bicycle or walking. There's no going back.
