[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people are just born New Yorkers (regardless of their birth city). I am one. I left for a job that was term limited (2 years) with every expectation I’d return the minute the job was done. Fell in love etc and never moved back. It’s been really hard. I have a bucket list of all be item: live in NYC again. My BFF still lives there and raised her 2 kids there. It never would have been a real possibility for her to leave. So if you’re wavering, I’d say you’re not one of us. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it’s just not vital to you. If it’s not vital, there are many pros to leaving, and you’ve id’d them.[/quote]

+1.  I grew up in the city, moved to the suburbs when my first kid turned 1, because that's what everyone did, backyard swings, good schools, blah, blah, blah.   I ended up hating the suburban lifestyle, cars and all, and moved back to raise three kids in a 2 bedroom apartment.  I am much happier this way.  My oldest has already graduated from college and moved out, the middle one is in college.  We've had some years when space was really tight, but I don't regret it.[/quote]
