No, you misread:
That's what they call a city - lots of buildings and parks and roads and people. Just like London and New York
I cottoned on immediately to your avoidance of my suggestion that you try Burlington downtown.

Trouble with you <snip> is that you really are nowhere near as clever as you think you are. You bring to mind an old chinese proverb. This is the part that applies to you:
'A man who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool, shun him'

The usual reason is to get more space. One gives up excitement for a garden and the ability to walk to most things.

Yes, I know where Burlington is, well vaguely, it's not so much a place as a continuation of the concrete, it kind of blurs into Brampton.

Can you imagine working there as well as living there? Perhaps building the tract housing or selling something from a strip mall? Ye Gods, that's a thought to make one question the wisdom of fleeing the arriving Khymer Rouge.

I had plenty of excitement when I lived in London. I just didn't want to bring my kids up there. So I suppose to some degree that's true. Although not necessarily for the extra space, but it does come as a bonus.



I may be within the sprawl, but it doesn't feel that way. I'm a few minutes walk from the lake, I have the escarpment just down the road. I'm about 5 minutes drive from a provincial park. I can go skiing, rock climbing or mountain biking all within 30 minutes drive, or I can get the train downtown and go to the theater or opera. I think I have the best of both worlds here.

So you live in the middle of the country and prefer the the company of horses to people? Each to his own I suppose.

Some of my best friends are horses. They're often more interesting than suburb dwellers.
