I live in such a setup in Norway. Much smaller scales all up than anything in the us, but my little city has about 60k people in the metropolitan area.
Gives great options for food, culture and whatnot, but I am only one hour by train from the million plus capitol (Oslo). I telework and go in for meetings as needed. One and a half hour to drive to measure it in american terms hehe.
Kids love it too. Roam freely around the neighbourhood, buy area is dense enough that they have all the options for after school clubs and sports and we even have an eSport club now :)
- BobaFloutist 2y agoOne hour by train from the major city is probably the missing link in the United States.
- slackfan 2y agoOne hour by train from a given major city in the US is "just" a bunch of major suburbs, or by European standards, another major city.
- devmor 2y agoAbsolutely! I currently drive longer than that to get to work in Atlanta. I would happily live further away in a less densely populated area if there were reasonable commute options.
