Sparks Street

[Buggys]

I think here are less people living downtown mostly because it's more expensive to buy a decent condition house or condo.

For many of those near the inner edge of the greenbelt and in the suburbs, public transportation would be much slower than driving, so taking the car would feel like the lesser evil. However, many also dread having to fight traffic and pay expensive parking. What would be the point of all the hassle getting to and from downtown if there's no big incentive like much better entertainment or retail?

Land and space rental prices downtown are probably more expensive than the outskirts. Why would a company not want to save that expense when people would happily flock to the outskirts in their cars?

It's a vicious cycle. Question is, how can the cycle be broken?
