I'm in that situation and I'm actually coming out on top in terms of what I would have had to pay for downtown parking, gym fees, water, natural gas, heat, concierge services, etc. if I were to pay for that separately.

The other thing with downtown living (if you work downtown) is you save ridiculous amounts of money on gas for your vehicle if you don't need to commute every day.

I'm always trying to get more people to live downtown as increasing the population will also increase the amount of services, shops, and hopefully encourage businesses to not close up every day at 5PM when the office workers leave.
