[quote=Anonymous]I'm biased - I live on a busy street and for me it was and is worth the tradeoffs, since we got a great school district, a walkable neighborhood and an easy commute at a price we could afford. I think it's irresponsible to buy something small on the assumption that you can easily move or add on - either of those options will easily cost you 100s of thousands more if you're in the city. But there are people who will never consider a house on a busy street, so be aware it will affect your house's appreciation and its resale options and timeline. Also be aware that the pace of development in the closein suburbs is only intensifying, so we're all going to be dealing with more traffic - that applies both to currently busy streets and those that aren't so much right now.

Anyway I don't understand people who want to live in the city (or who want to live in close-in suburbs that are walkable and convenient to public transit) but freak out about cars. If you really don't want traffic, you shouldn't be looking in a city at all. There are plenty of suburbs that are far enough outside the city that you can have lots of space and lots of quiet.
