Having childcare close to your house means they sit in the car way less and are less vulnerable to traffic problems (accidents, detours, construction, inclement weather, etc.). That has nothing to do with Lake Bonavista;
Yes it does. For many people the best neighborhood is one where you don't need to be in your car for more than an hour a day to go about your business (commuting, grocery shopping, going to doctors/dentists etc), it's one where these are reached in a short walk.

Most people wouldn't trade those for a man made lake surrounded by early examples of McMansions.
