I'm just trying to show the difference between a community like Lakeview and communities such as (not picking on anyone here....) Coventry Hills or Panorama or McKenzie Towne (etc).
In Lakeview, I do my groceries there, use the barber, buy my gas, service my vehicle, buy the local pizza, get my beer, use the convenience store, use the tailor, enjoy the parks/recreation, etc, etc, etc. The vast majority of my day-to-day life is accomplished within a few square blocks. That's how communities ought to be built (imo).

I know, and I'm just giving you a hard time really.
Aside from the walking distance (which I wonder how many Lakeview residents would consider the amenities walking distance this week anyway) communities like Somerset, Bridlewood,etc. in the deep south are all the same. You can do all of what you listed there and take the C-train to the downtown office.
