Does that sound like a well planned budgeting process? This has been happening for years. Is that fair to young families trying to stay in the valley?
It's kind of hilarious reading all these Calgarians trying to tell locals how they should manage their town. These aren't just my concerns, they are those of most long term residents. |
Let's get real here, there is the space to build more in Canmore. The supply is being created by people against development.
