Is ultra-sprawl-worthy development somehow justified so long as the residents are "ultra rich"?  |
Every city needs a variety of housing, so long as everyone pays their fair share. Mount Royal can justify its existance because the residents are more than capable of paying for their excessive use of space. A neighbourhood like that is one of a kind, or at least rare, its not the standard model. No subsidies needed. The average person in calgary would have a much tougher time affording their mcmansions if they had to pay the full freight, and that type of housing dominates this city.
