A city with a park nearby where your kids will actually meet other kids to play with?
That's what life was like back when we lived in Italy a few years ago. It was pretty good in a lot of ways!
When we moved here to Oregon, we landed in a rental with a big, beautiful back yard that didn't see much use.
"Kids don't need a big yard to play, they need other kids" - and living in a denser area provides more kids.
That's not to say no one should have a yard or anything, just that it's really not all that it's cracked up to be.

While I emphatize with their difficult situation, I don't want my child exposed to that. > "Kids don't need a big yard to play, they need other kids" - and living in a denser area provides more kids. Out here in suburbs,lots of kids (since most families with kids move to the suburbs) and many parks and none of the problems of a dense city. As a 20-something I want(ed) to live in a dense city for the parties & people & bars. As a parent of a child, I want to be as far as possible from a dense city.
