Wait, what? I've never! I grew up in a central Scarborough mid-rise and moved here 9 years ago to this decrepit old farmhouse. My parents own it.
I did a stint in residence at Carleton for two years, in a basement in Rexdale and in a Parkdale high-rise.
I'm moving to somewhere close to Ryerson in a couple of months.
I haven't exactly lived in what I deem to be suburbia.....maybe Rexdale was the closest I've gotten to that.
I hate subdivisions because they are of shoddy construction, fugly, overly expansive, wastes of space, over-priced, environmentally detrimental, contributing to a selfish and sloppy lifestyle, etc
Ok, I guess Rexdale would be kinda suburban....but other than my 7 months there...not really.
And yes, I'd rather live in my parents' farmhouse than some crazy-assed never-ending crescent at the bottom of the hill here.
But that is all neither here nor there cause I'm moving back to central Toronto which is where I'm happiest.
Woah there. I just wanted to know your opinion about exurbia/rural living vs. suburban living. No need to list your urban qualifications.
Just asking because I grew up in a place very similar to Cherrywood and would have much rather have lived in a faceless suburb, and was wondering if you shared that view or had a different one.
