Well, if it can only happen "somewhere else" then we just need to keep expanding area-wise until we cover all land in southern Alberta. The city can't grow by stashing new people away somewhere current Calgarians can't see them.

Great. You live nowhere near this and you’re in favour. I get it, and I understand that position. It doesn’t mean it’s a good idea and it doesn’t mean it should go ahead.
Like I have said before, you can be in favour of these things and it doesn’t mean every project is a good idea. The issue here has nothing to do with density. There are towers like 3 blocks away, townhouses and rowhouses across the street and all kinds of housing aside from single family homes around here. There’s no issue with that because the infrastructure has been modified and upgraded to make it work. That can’t be done with that parcel of land.
