Housing prices are higher the further you get from the city center? Well that's a new one !
Infrastructure costs may be higher to run a road further (debatable as usually that's a straight line and easy to do) but land cost is exponentially lower.
There's a reason the further you get from Calgary's city center- and every major Canadian city - the cheaper the houses are
