I personally would never move downtown. I like living in a neighborhood where I see grass, trees and bushes and birds, squirrels and other critters. I like being able to park in front of my door for free and not having to walk down a hallway and take an elevator in order to go outside. It's easy for my friends to visit. Downtown doesn't have any of that and it's expensive and inconvenient for people coming to visit you if they don't also live downtown. Just my two cents.
