[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a New Yorker and probably wouldn’t raise kids in Manhattan unless money was truly no object and I could afford 1) private schools 2) a decent apartment in a good location and 3) a summer place outside the city (rent or buy).

The amount that it takes to even live a comfortable UMC class with kids in the city is staggering. And the amount of ultra wealth - people worth hundreds of millions and billions of dollars - is also highly concentrated. The kids also grow up very fast. In my opinion it’s a very warped way to grow up.

The suburbs are really nice though. I would choose a NY or Boston suburb over either of the cities proper. [/quote]

I just posted I think dmv is best. New Yorkers definitely grow up fast. I used to club and go out all the time as a high school teen. I went to college and thought many kids were so sheltered and lame at the time. I am glad my current teenagers are sheltered and what I would probably have considered lame. They play sports, do well academically, still have dinner with their family, etc.[/quote]
