I'll take my near-downtown apartment where groceries and The Beer Store are within walking distance, Tim Hortons is within walking distance, and Canadian Tire is only a 4-minute drive.

Yes, but try talking to your average Londoner about this. They will look at you with the "deer in the headlights" look. People here do not understand community and the values of having smart planning. People like what seems normal to them and if they haven't lived in a place that has better planning. Since coming back from the UK, I have spoken to people how life works there and they say "this isn't the UK so it won't work in London". I don't find it appealing at all, but it's tough to fix.
