[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I discuss this topic pretty much every single day. We have two toddlers and currently live on the UWS. We're in the very fortunate position that we can afford a three bedroom in a nice enough place (though small) and can swing the private tuition for school when the time comes. However, living and raising kids in NYC isn't exactly easy. It's a lot, it's expensive, running errands/getting anywhere takes twice as long as bopping around with a car, and did I mention it was expensive?

We've been spending a lot of time with friends who moved to the suburbs during the pandemic and I can't lie... some things seem [i]so[/i] nice. A yard for the kids to run around, maybe even a pool, a car for errands, being close to the beach, everything catering to family and kids. Schools with spacious facilities and playing fields. Suburban grocery stores.

However sometimes I think about not living in NYC anymore and it really pains me. I love this city. We just don't know what to do. I'd love to hear if you had to make a similar decision or what you would do in my position? Any and all thoughts are welcome.[/quote]
