^ Pet projects? Whuh?!
Do you not remember Crowchild Trail North? Or see how nice Glenmore will be? The many LRT extensions (that get hundreds and hundreds of cars off the roads!), etc?
And yes, Josh is right, we not only have low property taxes but in many cases property taxes that are but a fraction of other cities.
And remember that a lot of complaining over property taxes in Calgary is because people houses are worth twice (or three or four times) as much ast they were a few short years ago (In 2001, average detached home was $180k, now it is ~$500k)!! Which is hilarious! you would rather pay ~$50 less per month but have made $400,000 less in equity??? SMART!~
