Eh. If the price difference really is only $200-$300, you have to think that even just the extra gas/wear and tear on the car plus the extra cost of a cab a couple times a month when going out will almost make up the difference right there. Factor in the extra time you're saving by not commuting and the convenience of being in the city core it's a no brainer, even if you got a crappier place in the city to start out with.
Speaking from experience, there's also nothing worse than having a bad day at work, you leave and your 30 minute commute has become 1+ hour because of a bad accident, snow, rain, etc. Just the worst.
