[quote=Anonymous]My husband and I grew up in rural areas but live in DC now and are raising a family. I feel like at this point, we can shield our kids (9 and under) from some of the rougher stuff that happens in cities (homelessness, crime, drugs, gangs) but I know it can't last forever. I recognize that the city can also offer so many good things in terms of culture, so I don't want to sound too much like a country mouse, but I'm wondering how families with kids older than ours feel about this issue. I'm not crazy about moving to expensive suburbia just to shelter my kids from reality, but a lot of other folks do it and have suggested that we are nuts to stay in the city to raise our kids.[/quote]
