I am a tech worker raising my family in Brooklyn and it's quite lovely. Expensive, yes, but lovely. Whether you find it a "rat race" of a lifestyle or not is much more dependent on your internal psychology than the city itself.
- isolli 9y agoWould you be willing to share the rough range of your household income? If you bought a house 10 years ago then it doesn't count, you can probably raise a family on almost any income in that case ;)
- perfmode 9y agoLast year, I left Menlo Park and moved to Brooklyn. No regrets.
- jimmy1 9y agoI have heard Brooklyn is gentrifying at a rapid pace, but back when I was there, Brooklyn just wasn't an option.
- CydeWeys 9y ago"Is" gentrifying? How many decades ago was the last time you went to Brooklyn? And where exactly did you go?
- nerfhammer 9y agoDo you have any idea how big Brooklyn is?
- jimmy1 9y agoSince this comment is attempting to be pedantic, I'll give you a pedantic answer: Yes I have access to google maps just like the rest of the world. Serious answer: Yes, the landmass that constitutes Brooklyn is large. The landscape of the main neighborhoods that have gentrified over the years are not so big. If you actually live there you know which parts I am talking about.
- ng12 9y ago> The landscape of the main neighborhoods that have gentrified over the years are not so big What are you talking about? By area, Brooklyn is more gentrified than not-gentrified.
- tootie 9y agoIt's tough even with a big tech sector salary. I don't know if your kids are in school yet, but the cost of living in a good school district or paying for private school makes things way more complicated.
