I married someone from Virginia and there are huge differences in what we were exposed to when it comes to nationalities, languages, food, the arts, and more.
IF money was no object, I'd love to raise a kid the same way - early years in the city, then a move to a close-in suburb.
You don't have to grow up in NYC to get that diverse exposure. It exists elsewhere in this country, too.
Elsewhere such as? At my children's school there was an international night with ~70 countries represented by 1st and 2nd generation immigrant parents.
I recently moved from Cobb County, GA (north of Atlanta). People don't usually think of Atlanta as being super diverse, much less the burbs, but it really is. I served as the diversity, equity, and inclusion chair for my kids' school PTO, and sent out a little survey to figure out who's who when I started up the gig. In our public elementary school of 600, we had first and second generation immigrants from 53 countries, 34 home languages, and 17 different religions represented -- and that's without splitting up protestants. That's pretty mindblowing, and cool. There are many diverse parts of the country, I wouldn't try to generalize on that front.
