Do people really say this? Because that’s just absurd. As you say, they are living in a winning lottery ticket.
I think some literally say such things. Basically, the market for an SDH surrounded by other SDH or 2 story buildings is larger than a market for a SDH that is a 90 feet away from a 400 foot high rise/sky scrapper. As for lifestyle change, I am sure there are some that believe BBQ'ing in the backyard will be impossible now that 300 people will be peering out of their balconies during the warm months to watch said BBQ'er.
I personally don't think either is true. As the downtown core gets more lively, it will only increase prices for SDH's that might still exist. And doubtful that there would be many people watchers in these condos. No need for 'lifestyle' changes.
