You think people don't consider their commute when looking at where to live?
Thank to a heavily suburbanized council making this city shittier everyday while driving up housing costs (with tons of SFH exclusive zoning) and taxes (thanks to the abundance of low density).
Nobody is looking down them. Those of us who care about the city aren't down to have their lifestyle subsidized (directly or indirectly). If you want to go live in a small town, go enjoy that idyllic lifestyle that you crave. Why do you want to live out there and still commute to the city daily?

Councillors serve the interests of their residents. What do you expect them to do in a democracy? It sounds like you want to bulldoze Alta Vista and Elmvale Acres. Even Overbrook, for that matter. If we kick those people out, where do you think people will go to find the same lifestyle. The exurbs?
Maybe we should start talking about building apartment buildings in Rockcliffe, the most offensive location for land wastage in the city.
But you are looking down your nose at them, because you want to punish them in various ways for living where they choose to live. Everybody has differing lifestyle priorities and we should respect that. In fact, diversity makes for a more interesting city and district.
