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.

It's going to become a pretty big issue as people move to the smaller centers, or less desirable geography. Decades of time and billions of dollars in infrastructure exist in Calgary and Edmonton, and having to abandon that (even as the cities grow) is going to engender a lot of bitterness.
