So I guess I'm considered a "millenial" (what a dumb name) and I would have to agree. I'm moving back east and rather than live out in the suburbs where I will have to commute in to work, I'm willing to sacrifice space for the convenience of being close to everything. I'm looking at high rise apartments right now that sit within a few blocks of the rail line (it only goes up and down one street haha) so I can ride it to work instead of driving. I will keep my car though so I can trek out to the 'burbs where my folks live (25 miles away but still in the same city...).

But, I am single and have no children. And although I like driving for long trips, I despise having to get in the stupid car to go 5 miles to run errands or whatever. Where i live now walking/biking around town is impossible. Looking forward to a more close-in lifestyle when I move this summer.

It's what I want. But possible or not? Everything costs money and that's always the bottom line when it comes to these things.
