Quote:
Myth: The Guidebook will force communities to change their make-up by allowing for different types of development than what there is today.
Fact:
The Guidebook encourages diverse housing, amenity, and employment options in our communities. That means we can better retain our current talent and youth, while attracting talent from outside of Calgary. It also allows people to stay in their community as they grow older and through different life stages.

This is from the city's myth document linked above. Basically it seems the concern here is that this will make upzoning easier. The city's response is pretty buzz-wordy (diversity!) but basically says that's the plan.
That's probably a good thing, but some of these answers are pretty disingenuous, imo.
