In general I’m anti-nimby pro development and say I don’t care about those people but it’s important to recognize the negative affects of redevelopment of existing areas.

But where does the 'forced' come in? Has there been expropriation in Canmore?
The renters thing is undeniable, but also not at all unique to Canmore.

Mobile Stationary Homes are always a tough one. I can understand why they were an appealing option several decades ago and how the now obvious inevitability wasn't so obvious back then. But it also isn't terribly different than the lifecycle of most other housing.
Not all bets pay off. Those folks enjoyed stability for decades longer than they would have had in their alternate timeline of regular renting.
And apparently that land has been owned by the same family since 1927. So it's just a Canmoron screwing other Canmorons. But obviously its because Calgarians.
