Until you try to raise your children somewhere elsewhere, I will take your comment with a huge grain of salt. Compared to where I am now, it just simply doesn't compare. I don't care about the city being my living room. My backyard is mountains, and trees, and fresh air, and creeks and streams, and endless opportunities for my children to go outside, get dirty, and explore.
- austinshea 9y agoIf you don’t care about being in the city, and do care about being close to nature, then that’s an obvious choice. That being said, I don’t want to raise my kids out there. I want my kids surrounded by many cultures, and to have access to the arts that NYC provides. It just is a no brainer for me.
- jimmy1 9y agoI hear ya. For me -- It was something about trying to go up and down narrow staircases to get to my upper floor apartment that I rent for 2,000 a month for 1300 SQFT and waiting for elevators holding two baby carriers with screaming babies that didn't sound appealing to me, especially when I can own, for about half the price (roughly 1,100), a 1900 SQFT house that I can walk straight into.
