My early teenage years were in the city, my later teens in the suburbs.
I hated that move to the burbs... Nothing to do except getting kicked out of the local mall or Borders. No libraries, no parks, no pools nearby... And no public transport.
When before in the city I could just take public transport and go downtown, meet my friends, go to the library, etc..
Now that I have kids, I live in a city. But it's a quiet neighborhood, and we have a yard -- that I did appreciate from the suburbs ;-)
- lonelappde 7y agoYou have a yard with public transit? That's clearly not scalable; it must be very expensive property.
- nickserv 7y agoIt's a mixed area, there are single family homes, small apartment buildings and a few medium sized buildings (4-5 stories). We don't have any metro lines but have bus and train. Prices are reasonable because we are on the north face of a large hill and get little sun in the winter, and are not close to the downtown area.
