I've moved from Toronto downtown(ish) to a commuting/satellite community (for love - my wife and her family all live there:). It astonishes me how many people in that town are complaining how it used to be small and full of farm fields, and now there are all these new people and houses and neighbourhoods, and we need to stop the expansion. Every.Single.One. of them moved there within their lifetime. NONE of them were born there. THey did the exact same thing they are now complaining and trying to stop others. None of them, when asked, are even remotely willing to move to a high density downtown condo, if they are so committed and passionate to preserving the fields and small community. It absolutely astonishes me, the utter lack of self-awareness: why are you expecting others to be different than yourself? --- (it's like when you're stuck in traffic, and somebody in your car gets frustrated "Why are all these people here? Where are they going??". It's not like everybody else has conspired to harm us - we are in this traffic, going somewhere else, contributing to it and making everybody else slower. It is US, not "them" )
