The neighborhood structure. I know some other cities have it, but being able to have effectively a walkable small town where I am, and a 10 minute bus ride to the next neighborhood being essentially a "fun day out" is awesome. There's always more to explore, despite the city's small size, and you get to know the faces.

How is the driving there? Do most people use public trans?

If you live and work in the city, driving is easy IMO. There’s always another way to get where you’re headed if you run into a backup. Been living in the city for 20+ years and I never sit in traffic.

Buses are decent if you live in certain neighborhoods, but are terrible for many.

Public transit is only good if you take the T from the south hills.

East Busway is actually better but people love trains.

Car was in the shop- took it earlier this week for the first time in a few months and this checks out (plus was very scenic what with the spray-coating of white from last weekend on everything)!
