[quote=Anonymous]I brought up my kids in NYC. I could get to work after dropping off the kids at school and still be the first one in the office. Then later the kids commuted on their own to middle school and their afterschool activities. I could also participate in school activities without killing my workday. We had home cooked family dinners together every night because the commute was only about 30 min. In high school some of the sports meets were in the outer boroughs so an uber was involved but I can say that we've never really had to chauffeur them anywhere. The public transit system has good coverage. The downside is the kids don't have a zest to learn how to drive. Once my youngest finishes high school I'm getting out of the city. Sick of the homeless, the general lawlessness, the faux sense of community (i.e. lack thereof). Plus I have an aging parent so should be there for my elder.[/quote]
