Of course they will, and many of these people will find themselves within a reasonable distance of their jobs, hence their decision to purchase in this location!
I should've read the papers before posting my commute comments yesterday.
Right after posting, I hit several newspaper articles about Toronto losing jobs to the GTA suburbs --like this from the National Post:
Taxes send jobs to suburbs
Calgary could take city's title as economic capital

Businesses in Toronto pay about $1-billion more in taxes than they would if they were in the suburbs, Mr. Pill calculates.
As a result, since 1990, Toronto has lost 100,000 jobs, whereas the 905 region has gained 850,000 jobs, City of Toronto data shows. The 905 region surpassed the city in total number of jobs three years ago, and the suburbs now employ 1.55 million people, 150,000 more jobs than the city.
So people moving into all those condos at Burnhamthorpe and Hurontario can likely roll out of bed and into their 9to5 right there IN the 905..
Apologies. I'm still of the old mindset where everyone's car is aiming east to T.O.
