I know a couple of fellow young families living in narrow homes in Trinity-Bellwoods and Christie Pits in Toronto, respectively. Price craziness aside, they want their kids growing up there because of the community and location. The houses are old, narrow, and tall (like we're talking 18-25 feet wide), but they choose to stay.
I think if they had the option for a larger or more spacious house in the areas, sure, why not, but for some families location and community are higher.
Everyone is different. I see the positives for both urban and suburban family living.
