So, for anyone who doesn't know, Calgary is growing like a weed. Some people say it will have the population of Toronto within 15 years(don't really know about that). This of course has caused massive spikes in house rates. Right now, the average price for a standard single-family dwelling is around $330,000+. Well, that realy bites it for guys like me, who only make around 31,000 a year. Having a mortgage would be absolutely impossible. On a similiar note, the city just did a study that said there are currently more than 740,000 vehicles on the road in our fair city. With a pop. of just over a million, that's A LOT of cars and trucks. Also, there doesn't seem to be a vision for building sustainable housing, I.E. NOT the suburbs. They are still building the tradional way, as if nothings wrong. It does make it hard when you're going to dinner at a friends and you have to navigate 80 KM/H roads
...Just a rant I guess
