If you live in Midtown Manhattan or the Loop in Chicago, I can see why you'd believe that. But if you live in the outer neighborhoods/boroughs, thats not in the slightest bit true.
- lazerpants 9y agoI live in Brooklyn. The hobbies I cannot participate in, mostly due to not having a car, that I once enjoyed: Autocross/Track days Sporting clays Golf (dragging clubs on the subway is not fun) Kayaking Camping There are other things to do, but NYC is a bad place for a person making less than 6 figures to participate in a lot of outdoor activities.
- thoughtpalette 9y agoDefinitely Agree. Lived throughout the Northside and West Sides of Chicago for about 8 years now. The amount of "free" activities seems to dull suburban life by comparison. Festivals Concerts Bars Shopping Food Gyms Meetups Zoo(s) Aquarium Beach Bike/Jogging trails (606/lakeshore) Holiday Parades Holiday Events (Christkindle/July 4th, etc) Architecture Very accessible social circles (walking, public transit) etc, etc These are what I worry I'd be giving up if moving to the suburbs as a renter currently. (edit) Can't figure out a hard-return for formatting (edit 2) Trying to get into a bowling alley is ridiculously hard though, having an hour wait to bowl never has happened to me in the burbs.
