    The transportation right of way is definitely a factor. Most of Toronto and Vancouver's suburbs don't have large setback arterial roads...

    Interesting. I lived in Ottawa for a number of years prior to moving to the Beltline (I have since moved) and Calgary always struck me...

    Agreed. Everything is relative. Vancouver feels bigger and more urban than Calgary, and maybe on a ‘ratio’ a higher urban ratio...

    I agree Vancouver is more dense, I just think that feeling of it being closer to Toronto than Calgary is to Vancouver, isn't necessarily...

    The one counter to this is the inner-city SW. I think a couple things are going on there, high-income young families and infill of both...

    Foothills MD would add 80k, a fairly substantial amount. It would put Calgary over 10% difference from Edm/Ott. Compared to the...
