Here's a new community in the deep SE of CAlgary, the first few buildings and homes are just finishing up IIRC. Much better density but still very car oriented with massive surface lots.

Man, that's weird. From some perspectives it looks denser than most of our big-city downtowns, but when the camera shifts one way or the other it's just acres of surface parking. That makes me wonder if the density is actually any higher than a standard subdivision full of single-family houses.
What's the demand for all that multi-unit at the edge of town, anyway? Employees at the new hospital down there?
The main street looks good, anyway. Just fill in a bunch of those parking lots with houses/apartments and it'd actually be walkable. I guess that might happen over time.
