I think city living in SF is super great for people who can afford the extra cost. Right now you have 2 kids in a 2 bedroom, and at some point that is going to be pretty cramped for everyone. Also the number of families that put a strain on the system is pretty stressful. For example, getting a slot into the school lottery for Lowell High is crazy competitive. Yet, I agree, nothing beats walking them to day care and then to work and having a dog to play with in a park a few blocks away. Having access to some of the best food in the world and lots of evening family friendly events is quite a perk and a dream. Another thing though that I hear a lot, people who choose to live in the subburbs here also find the "unique" culture of SF a bit much for a kid to get exposed to so early. A bit too gritty and real lol, but I applaud you for being so open.
