I imagine someone from Vancouver or Toronto would laugh about a Calgary "inner city" resident complaining how far out the suburbs here are. From Panorama I can get to downtown in 20-25 minutes in rush hour, most people in Toronto would dream of a commute like that. I also have experience living in Inglewood, which meant an old house with lots of homeless around and very little parking, and anything beyond trinket shopping meant venturing by car to a 'burb for groceries and other household items. And if I wanted to visit friends that weren't downtown it usually meant dealing with the ####show of Blackfoot/Deerfoot traffic. Now though I have all the shopping we ever need 5 minutes away, and easy access to Stoney. I'd never go back
