Regarding home ownership, I know it's tough out there for millenials and gen z'ers but until they start moving to places like Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Regina, or Edmonton, then I think part of it is city preference. Heck, cheap homes can still be had in red deer, Lethbridge and Medicine Hat.
Calgary is a highly desirable city but home and lease costs are rapidly inflating and show no signs of abatement. It would seem to me that is some out of province folks are really moving for home prices they might need to prioritize what's important. Personally being 'an hour from the mountains' might need to take a back seat so you can have a roof over your head.
Guts me that born-and-raised Calgarians who want to stay are being priced out of their own city.
