In the lead up to what will be a contentious Calgary city council meeting on April 22 where the public will speak their minds regarding the city’s proposed up zoning bylaw, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek says owning a home is just so yesterday.

In a 30-second video posted on Twitter (“X”), Gondek says, “We are starting to see a segment of the population reject this idea of owning a home and they are moving towards rental because it gives them more freedom.”
