I get it that you are not having fun standing in a bus for those 224 hours a year. But what about the other thousands of hours a year you spend inside your house? Would you rather cramp in a inner city house than spend them in a more spacious suburb house?
But my point is that most people over-rated the 15, 30 minutes of pain and undervalue the enjoyment they got from having a bigger and better house for the other 90% of their waking hours.
A lot of the McMansions are ugly, I agreed. But same with those infills that are so narrow they look like trailer park houses and cost obscene amount of money.
Not to say you are wrong to live inner city and to each their own, everyone has their own priotities.
