Where you live is always going to be a mix of what you prioritize and what you can afford (usually with emphasis on the latter). Expecting to give people everything they want, close to where they want, at a price they can afford, is not always realistic in a free market economy....but a good city provides a mix of options, which I think Calgary actually does fairly well. Atleast here you have some options... not always true in many other places.

I also think there is no perfect place for anyone, and it's ok to change your location as you move through life. When you're young, the things you value are different then when you're older or have children, so its natural that your housing situation changes too. I know what I valued as super-ultra important in my 20s is not even on my radar now that I'm 40 and with 2 kids.
