Different strokes for different folks. At different times in their lives.
Don’t expect something as subjective as happiness to also be rational.
In my teen years, I felt trapped where I grew up so I moved to NYC.
In my early 20s, I couldn’t afford Manhattan so I moved to the suburbs.
In my mid 20s, I felt trapped in the suburbs so I moved [back] to NYC.
In my early 30s, I felt trapped in NYC and just recently moved back to the suburbs.
In 15-20 years, I’ll probably think along the lines of folks who say they want a pied-a-terre in NYC for the (non-winter) weekends and suburbs during the week.
- gigaflop 4y ago> pied-a-terre Thanks for the vocabulary. I've been thinking about this option myself, combined with an edge-of-town main residence, with the full home office + gym + etc. The convenience of being able to just go to a population center and have all of your creature comforts handled is the big draw for me.
