That's my point. No need to brag about how much time and money you saved by biking/walking to work without needing a car. It's the hip things to do nowadays but you pay for it.
A 1600 sq ft space can be had in the sub from 400k-500k and if you develop the basement you easily add another 700-800 sq ft of usuable space for very little money.
A 1600 sq ft space in downtown is astronomical as you are talking about penthouse kind of money. $2500 get you a condo with a small bedroom with no windows in the Waterfront tower. If that's the kind of life you want so that you can avoid sitting in a comfortable car for an extra 30 - 45 mintues a day, more power to you.
I wish I have Donald Trump kind of money and live in a Mahattan penthouse and walk to everything too but I dont'. So I am not dumb living in the sub and drive to work. And those are not smarter not having to drive to work either.
