[quote=Anonymous]I just posted, but also wanted to address the comment that suburbs are better for older kids. That may be true if you value a lot of suburban activities and are skittish about urban school systems. But for tweens/teens, the independence that comes with city life is a huge plus. They need that freedom and it's much easier to get in the city than suburbs, generally. There are plenty of extracurriculars kids can do in cities, too, even if they look a bit different than weekends at the soccerplex or whatever. In the suburbs it's so much driving to the various activities and that gets old, frankly (as a suburb-dweller). [/quote]
