Everyone told me I was nuts to pass on the skyline views and the shorter bus ride, but after 14 months of having a backyard, a garage spot that is actually mine, and neighbors who grab my packages, the only thing I miss is Thai food within walking distance, so has anyone else picked the quieter neighborhood and regretted it, or is it just me?
