I worked at Station Square at the time and couldn't beat the commute. Each day was a choice between the bus that stopped at the next house over, hiking to/from the T, walking to the incline, or getting a quick ride down the hill when my ex would leave for work.
I also liked having "somewhere to go" within walking distance. I spent a lot of time just walking around and getting good views to occupy myself. Extra points for having date-friendly things to do within walking distance.
But really other than that, it wasn't for me. There was always a lot of traffic and crime, only one grocery store, few options for gas. Getting up and down Sycamore in the winter was terrifying. And the tourists. The fucking tourists... I'm not patient enough to deal with them on such a consistent basis.
