I live in a house in a suburb, albeit: The house is tall, narrow and set close to the street. The suburb was built 100 years ago (around a light rail line, no less).

As was my suburb, Westdale ... which might be yours, too, of course. I believe that primary developer was required to put in a streetcar line (the ancestor of the King 1 route, iirc) as part of the development deal with the city. The newish cluster of buildings at King & Sterling (where Walker's chocolates is) used to be the streetcar turn-around.

Uhmmm ... I'm straining to bring this back on topic. Oooo ... I know. One of Hamilton's most successful suburbs was built to be car friendly (garages for every home!), walkable (lots of short blocks) and have good transit. It can all work together.
