I'm glad the City of Calgary's forward-looking councillors and administration, I think we are much less likely to run into this infrastructure renewal problem, because we are increasing density. Financial catastrophe for cities and towns is a real thing in the US these days because they went much further down the car-centric low-density suburban city design.

So conflicted about stories like this because people shouldn't give in to entitled asshole companies, but it is also selfish to stand in the way of increasing #UrbanDensity.
