I hate driving in non moving traffic everyday of my life. I want to be able to walk everywhere I need to go and experience real culture. You're usually living among culture while downtown.

But between the cost of buying here (even in the bad neighborhood we live in now) and the fact that several of my fiancee's perfectly-legal-in-Indiana-and-Michigan hobbies are felonies in Chicago, we'll be buying in Highland. If we have kids, they're not going to public school anyway, so that's not an issue. Downtown _used_ to be nice for restaurants, until this year when the neo-fascists finally got their beloved smoking ban past the aldermen. We've been driving out of town when we go out to eat anyway, so no big loss there from the move. And since I can take the South Shore train to work, I don't have to worry about traffic either. It's just too bad we'll be so much further away from our friends. It’s a shame we have to move out of the city.

The biggest downside was the access to everyday necessities. Downtown IS nice for restaurants but horrible for groceries, etc. Another downside was the cost of parking. I don't agree with the 'less traffic', except for the periods when I didn't have a car. I’ve moved into and then back out of downtown Denver in the past 18 months.
