[quote=Anonymous]I'd love to hear about your experience, especially if you spent your late childhood/teenage years there. I live in NYC with my three children and while it's sometimes crazy, we love it. We're lucky to have the space and extras that allow us to live there comfortably. However, I didn't grow up here. I grew up in the burbs - which I had/have lighthearted complaints against - but did have a backyard, sprawling facilities for sports/school/etc., and a "normal" American childhood. I sometimes think about my kid's school - which we love but is cramped and has no sports facilities (which requires a bus drive to parks and fields that are sometimes 40 minutes away) or the fact that they can't just go outside and play which necessitates a walk to the park and wonder if I'm doing them a disservice... They're young so don't know differently but I'd love to hear from those who grew up there. Did you love it? Did the pros outweigh the cons for you? [/quote]
