I was 2 km from the nearest restaurant/ bar ( Tim Hortons doesn't count). If I wanted to do any activities it was a 15 - 20 minute drive to the city centre and I would have to pay for parking. All the houses looked the same, the neighbours were just as ####ty leaving passive aggressive notes about guests parking. The only up side was that the house was bigger, which was nice because I could always use an empty room.

Growing up in Millview (DEEP SOUTH CALGARY) and commuting 90 minutes back and forth to UofC every day thankfully left me with no student loans and a deep deep deep desire to never ever live in the suburbs. Apartment living was and is still an incredibly enjoyable way to live life. I haven't commuted to worth ever in my life. What a joy.
