I grew up in the suburbs, and wish I still lived there. I live in a city now, having moved for work, and regret it. The city is hard to get around in, and it's crowded and expensive.
Happy to answer any questions if you have them.
- nunez 10y agoSame here. Loved in NYC and now live in a suburb of Dallas. I'm never moving back.
- jimbokun 10y agoDepends on the city, and whether or not you are too lazy to walk a few blocks. When I lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn, most things were walking distance, and buses trains and cabs super convenient. I live in Pittsburgh now, and can walk (half hour) or bike (10 minutes) to work. Shopping requires a car, but not much traffic and plenty of parking compared to NYC, so still convenient. I know other US cities, though, have bad public transportation and bad traffic, and those might be worse than living in the suburbs.
- int_19h 10y agoA lot of this is subjective personal preference. What's crowded for one person can be perfectly normal for another.
