Yes the region has more than enough for suburban tract after suburban tract. But personally I couldn't live in a suburb...

Urban sprawl, living in a suburb? Not me as my home is about 5km from down town Calgary, hardly suburban. Certainly I don't complain about traffic congestion because that's just a part of living in the city (even though our business is 30km across the city) and besides that, most of what I need is within an easy walk or short drive of our older home (60 years old next summer). All 3 levels of public schooling within walking distance, outdoor swimming pool, skating rink and community center within 3 blocks. Great green space only 3 blocks away, international airport terminal under 12km from our home, Nose Hill a 2km walk away, 1km walk to Confederation Park, 5km to down town - not bad for a 60x110 lot. Why is it that so many assume that to have a decent sized lot with a SFH on it means that you are in a suburban area located some 10+ km from Calgary's down town core?
