It's already proven in Marda Loop that there is limited appeal for these 'zero parking' micro-unit buildings in Calgary outside of the downtown core / beltline. The "Marlo" stacked townhouses with 11 parkingless 400 sq ft micro-units below grade has failed to sell, leaving behind a commercial failure and undeveloped parcels.
It always amuses me to no end that many of the loudest voices in the "up not out" movement chose single detached/attached housing for themselves. Just as long as they themselves don't have to live in apartment style condo units I suppose.
