Not in Toronto (I live in Houston), but we actually did the opposite. Living 30 or 40m away from the city was great in theory, but sucked given that we did that trip every weekend (or sometimes during the weekdays). Also, the suburb we lived in was not walkable at all. The sprawl was insane and sidewalks were a rarity.
