[quote=Anonymous]We did this. Downsides: -we're renting in the city, and have forgone the appreciation we would have had on our house. -disciplined culling of stuff required constantly -sheer number of public schools and different admissions rubrics is overwhelming (we didn't grow up here so don't have a baseline familiarity) -more issues with noise (both trying not to be too noisy, and putting up with noise from neighbors/the street), though never any of those leaf blowers... Upsides: -kids can (if you're comfortable with it) get themselves around from a much earlier age than in the suburbs, without you taking on a part-time chauffeuring job -better and more diverse food options -not worrying about drinking and driving I'm sure there are more but that's what came to mind first.[/quote]
