city without either the costs or socio economic problems generally associated with urban living the Business Development Dept of the Region of Halton point out Many of the Region residents live in Hills Burlington or Milton and commute from Toronto for work A 1979 survey identified almost per cent of the labor force em ployed outside of the Region The presence of GO Transit facilities make residence in the Region a viable alternative talUc In City This decision is undoubtedly influenced by the relative cost of housing in Halton Region The Royal Trust survey of housing prices issued last

of The comparison Tor a two storey four bedroom home reveals a spread of to in Halton compared to an average price of in Toronto The cost savings had from residence in Region can be easily translated into cost savings to the business considering Halton as a potential location The time lost In the traffic congestion in the city or commuting times during rush hour maxes the Halton alternative even more attractive Most workers In the Region live less than IS minutes from their place of employment Many find it convenient and relaxing to drive home for their lunch break in the day The Toronto International Airport can be reached In about half an hour which Is less time than it takes to reach the airport from downtown Toronto Travening into the outside of rush hour Is remarkably convenient
