That's the appeal of big cities: lot of job or activities in a limited space. I have all of that in the shit area I live in London. I have a variety of restaurant, a street market 3 times a week, loads of shops ( food mostly ) all within 5 min walk. All good, except for work. That's all in the City or Canary Warf, you still need to get there. Despite being shit, the area is still expensive because the connection to the City is not bad. You can get all of that in a lot of place but the price only become affordable once you can't commute with the City anymore.
