[quote=Anonymous]I'm a pp who said heck yes to NY, and we're currently raising kids here even without tons of money. I 100% get that it's not for everyone. But what makes me skeptical of many of the replies is when they cite reasons that make no sense. Crime concerns from someone in Boston, or DC? NYC is safer on I think every measure. "The high buildings" -- is this from someone who has only been to Manhattan? It's like many people are responding to a parody of Manhattan in the 80s, not a living city with hundreds of different neighborhoods. It's like saying I don't want to raise my kids in DC because I don't want to have to see the White House out my window every day. Or bc I did an internship there in my 20s and everyone was singularly focused on going into politics or becoming a senator one day. For most of you DC residents I have to assume that's just a bizarre response bc it doesn't resonate at all with your actual lived experience. [/quote]
