85% to make money on the real estate transaction--I can get a bigger house (everyone who retires downsizes, but I've got lots of stuff I need more room for) for half of what mine is worth.
But I have steadily lost interest in Toronto the past decade. As I've said elsewhere, book/record/video stores are close to extinct (or, in the case of record stores, so expensive they may as well be). Traffic becomes more of a nightmare every year. I'll miss the many rep theatres and the documentary festival. And friends, of course. But if I end up where I want to, I'll still only be a two-hour drive away.
