QoL is much much better in the city IMO. The only downside is rent, and maybe parking. I have access to lively nightlife, food, shops, etc, whereas in suburbs stuff is closed by 8/9PM.
Of course, this varies by stage of life; I don't have kids, so I'd prefer the city to a suburb.
- jjk166 5y agoI was paying close to twice the area average in rent so I could be within walking distance of a bunch of restaurants and bars and such. Then the pandemic hit and I was paying a fortune to live in a smaller-than-average box. Although looking back on it, even before the pandemic hit I only really took advantage of my proximity to those locations a few days a month. I'm uncertain to what degree life will go back to how it was before, but even in the best case scenario I'd probably be better off living in a cheaper area and using the money I save to get an uber to the bar. I'm a lot easier to move than my residence.
