I have heard this argument many times from different people and I still don't understand what it is I am farther away from than them. People who have said this in the past to me lived in either Evanston, Mahogany, or Cranston. I'm closer to pretty much everything you can imagine than any of them, except maybe the new south campus hospital but I'm not too worried about living near a hospital, maybe once i'm 80... Plus I have the added benefit of walking to work, close to C-train and in the car2go area. I live in Kensington and gladly pay the premium to not sit in my car for an extra 8-12 (even more in bad winter weather) hours a week commuting. I did that and it drove me nuts.
oh and living in the same house for the life of your mortgage? who does that.
