OP here; that is our feeling as well, but we see a lot of middle income families moving out to those far-flung neighborhoods instead of living in the condos and townhouses we are squeezing into.  We feel like we might have missed a memo![/quote]

No no no, I am almost similar to you with few exceptions. I live in a condo because I do not want a house and I do not want to live far out. My condo building have a lot of foreigners so I feel it's a place I belong. However, the non foreigners in the building are a bit more frazzled about living in an apartment and they tend to look out of place - like it's hard for them to relax. My kids do get judge for living in an apart building instead of sfh, my kids have probably missed out on play dates because of it. It never registered to me that I needed to fit in one way or another until I found dcum. But I have been called a tigerish mom and I feel we will help our kids make it to anywhere they want to and their goals are pretty high. From that sense, I don't care if we fit in, but I know it is not the reality for others. We can move out and maybe be able to afford a 1.5m sfh, but that won't happen, at least not so we can fit in. That's the good part of being ignorant of some of the cultural nuances around here. So OP, for some, a condo is a preference not a must.[/quote]
