[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the burbs and can't imagine raising a kid there now. My kids play freely with the dozens of kids who live within several hundred yards of our house, there's a baseball field, two playgrounds and hundreds of acres of Rock Creek... and I can have a great career. I went to baseball games MAYBE once a year growing up, never hockey, soccer, football or basketball games. Our two had three restaurants that weren't chains and not many chains. I went to local public, which were FINE, for first six years, had to take a 30-45 minute bus ride for that... switched to private for middle and high school and had to do 45 minutes each way to get there. It was so hard to hang with friends without mobilizing parents and driving LONG distances. Can't fathom going to a life like that when we have everything here.[/quote]
