real estate market in NY suburbs isn't nearly as hot as DC (prices are still high in NY suburbs but it isn't as crazy as here, homes stay on the market longer, no escalation clauses or having to waive inspections like people do in DC).[/quote]

There are lots of homes in Westport under a million. I recently looked at 59 Roseville rd. So cute and a big yard. Great schools and town amenities. The train ride is an hour but most people work on the train [/quote]

Do you have any idea how long this commute is?  It's a 15 min drive to the train station in the morning.  Then parking and waiting for the train. Then an hour on the train. Then transferring to the subway at grand central and taking the subway wherever you need to go.  We are talking three hours of commuting each day at a minimum and possibly up to four of your job is in downtown Manhattan.   That's a serious commute!!!![/quote]

I'd put a bullet in my brain after 6 months.[/quote]

my husband only needs to go to city 1 or 2 days a week.  he can work from home the other days.  we don't have to pay for private school anymore.  we get the beach, tennis and pool club.  we can easily drive to Vt to ski and the cape/islands in summer.  Also he just needs to go to midtown manhattan so he won't have to go downtown. [/quote]

So? Lol, good for you? You know this isn't that common right? If you're not the OP of this thread, then forgive me, but who cares what your personal circumstances are?? For MOST people, they will have to commute into the city every work day. 3 hours lost to this daily when they could be doing other things (like playing with their kids or just relaxing outside) would be a terrible grind for many and quickly become very depressing.[/quote]
