What causes winnipeg's Sprawl without LRT or Freeways? Same reason people's choices to live in the suburbs and lots of land to spread out.

The C-Train doesn't cause sprawl alone, but having that transportation option, really makes it much more viable to live so far out of town. It takes 22 minutes from Anderson to the TD Centre using the train. Thats a really nice option.. and beats the plain bus option hand down.
In Winnipeg I think sprawl is more limited without rapid transit. It does exist of course, but if the outter communities had access to quick transit it would only encourage more to live out there.
