In defense of office parks, I did enjoy living in lower rent&#x2F;property price areas in the suburbs near an office park. Downtown living (where I am now) is expensive as hell.  However, my employer has plopped their new office right in the middle of the most expensive real estate, and next door to the &quot;Mecca&quot; (as my real estate agent called it) of expensive condos.  Great!  So it&#x27;s either hellish commute or expensive rent.   I opted for expensive rent. :-\
