The problem is alot of low income workers are coming to that conclusion. The fall out is already seen in the fast food industry and retail jobs in general. They can't find enough workers to staff their business. Then there's heath care workers who can work in other provinces where housing is cheaper.

As for me I came to the conclusion a few years back that I could no longer afford to live in Calgary so I moved out to High River. The problem now is that High River is starting to get expensive housing wise.
