I'm against this because I want to live in a SFH when I return to the Calgary region, don't want to live next to a Du/four/eightplex and don't want to have to park blocks away due to cramped streets. Upzoning the entire city all at once is insane and will ruin many great neighborhoods. I could be for this though if all density requirements for new communities were dropped concurrently (Hey why not let the market decide if legions of 4 story wood condo buildings straddling the city limits are actually desired).
I think the SFHomeowners who will see the biggest increase in value will be people who live in Cochrane, Okotoks, Airdrie & Strathmore.
