In this earlier posting, I mentioned a series of National Post articles on what they called “the

eternal struggle within all of us: the choice between the monster

suburban home with plentiful parking or the modest plot in the city

with the coffee shop around the corner.”

Today’s offering is titled Never the commuter twain shall meet,

and contains a lot of reader reponses to earlier articles. Interesting

stuff, and I’ll need to carve out some time to throw in my two cents.

There’s also an article called It’s what’s inside that counts,

which asserts that yes, in the ‘burbs, the houses are often of the

cookie-cutter variety; it’s the spaces that people create within that

makes all the difference.
