But it's true. Assume for a second you were living in a high-rise condo downtown. Assuming you pay full condo fees in a well-run building, scaling down includes not worrying about home security, not worrying about mowing grass, not worrying about shoveling walks, not worrying about sewage/electrical/piping (condo does it), not worrying about landscaping, and many more. Not to mention not worrying about having to drive (much), spend money on gas, and sit in traffic. I've instantly scaled down on household and daily chores by having this.
I'd say that's scaling down, wouldn't you?
My life has drastically improved since I moved to a condo. I've scaled down on material goods, time spent getting places, and spending money on otherwise suburbanite issues such as spending money on gas.
I'm not saying im RIGHT, but I am saying I have scaled down, and so has almost everyone else I know in my high-rise complex.
