The great majority of people wind up having kids.
The great majority of people who have kids want to raise them in a detached home.
With two incomes, and often parents who are willing to shell out a lot of money to ensure their grandkids are raised in a house with a yard, many couples have the means to pay through the nose to upgrade from multi-unit to detached home.
And Calgary will increasingly be a destination for young families that can’t afford detached homes in other regions.
