UPDATE from NEWS1130:
It seems gone are the days of wanting to live near a school, park, or playground. A new report on the Canadian real estate market finds rush-hour traffic is helping to move many folks away from car-dependent suburbs; many people want to live closer to transit.
The Emerging Trends In Real Estate report says access to SkyTrain, bus, or light rail is quickly moving up on many people’s “must-have” lists.
The report, commissioned by PriceWaterhouseCoopers and the Urban Land Institute, also suggests the Canadian real estate market will maintain its strength next year.
“gone are the days of wanting to live near a school, park, or playground”
Just a bizarre opener in so many ways. If those things have been desired nearby through the Suburban Experiment of single-family subdivisions, then they certainly haven’t been provided. Good urbanism, which article goes on to praise, means providing exactly that proximity.
I can’t get my head around the world view of the journo who writes that opener. Do they think providing transit – which, by definition, is used by pedestrians – means providing neighbourhoods without schools, parks or playgrounds nearby?
And do they think that non-transit-serviced, car-dependent neighborhoods are somehow sprinkled with schools and parks, instead of arterials and parking?
