In reply to bobzilla :
I don't live in hell. I prefer to not have to drive 45 minutes to an hour to work, 30 minutes to the grocery store, have choices for restaurants and activities, have friends for my kids they can ride their bikes or walk to, be close to family/friends and all the other advantages to living in a metro area. For that, I give up having a large lot and (hopefully) a large garage. That's more than a worthy trade
