There are nodes with towers like Kensignton and Bridgeland though which are developing quite a bit and can't be seen from the north side because of the river valley though. That's the only reason I always make a comment. Just trying to educate people that while there are burbs on the doorstep of DT on the north side, they are densifying and the Beltline to the south is the exact opposite. Calgary does have dense, urban, walkable communities. It's not just suburbia with a dead DT core.
Don't even think it's worth the argument. Calgary is a late bloomer it's never going to have the neighborhoods that ring Toronto and Montreal. The beltline and a few small neighbourhoods aren't the same as having miles upon miles of urban neighborhoods.
