[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two families with kids who do travel sports (volleyball and swimming) and live in the city, it can happen but takes money and time. A boy in my HS class in the city was the #1 18 and under singles player in the country - also time and money.[/quote]' Yea - the sports scene is actually pretty big in the city. There are a lot of good facilities - the John McEnroe or Cary Leeds Center for tennis, lots of squash facilities, an olympic sized pool at Asphalt Green, Chelsea Piers in Chelsea, Randalls Island, Icahn stadium, etc. The people I know who are very happy in NYC and have raised their kids there: 1) Have at least a 3 bedroom apartment, 2) Have a car in a garage, 3) send their kids to private school, and 4) have a house somewhere else. Yes this requires an absurd amount of money. Those people stay to raise their kids in the city. A lot of others end up moving eventually. [/quote]
