People choose where they want to live, and the commute that comes with it. Owning a house in the central areas of the city is still very affordable...

After living for about 10 years in Osborne Village and Wolseley, I cannot handle traffic, and now there is no way I would consider moving much further away.

If population growth eclipses road infrastructure - and of course it will - it will have one positive benefit in encouraging people to live in areas they likely wouldn't consider now (West End, downtown, exchange) and help to boost the property values and population of inner city areas.

I will grant you that highway infrastructure especially for truck transport is woefully inadequate.
