Different strokes.
My wife and I stayed in a suburb for 3 months while we were caretaking and working remotely.
I couldn’t step out my door and go out on a run, the nearest coffee shop was a 15 minute drive away, and no restaurants were open past 9 and often closed on weird days.
It felt like the only way to be comfortable in the suburb was to own more things and build your own castle.
We returned back to Chicago and immediately bought to secure our preferred urban lifestyle for the long term.
- AlwaysRock 4y agoYup. We've considered moving to the small IL town my wife is from. It's even fairly lively for a small town (they have like 7 restaurants instead of 3). But we visit for a month or so once or twice a year and by the end of the month we are dying to get out. Even thought in Chicago MOST of the time we go to the same handful of restaurants, its the option to have a near countless amount that we COULD go to that keeps us from feeling like were going to the same few places.
